백제 식리의 원형복원을 위한 주변국 식리와의 비교 연구

Abstract

Gold is not only a precious material in modern times, but also it could be only used by a specific class in the period of the Three Kingdoms. Some skillful metalwork techniques such as openwork, carving, chasing and plating are required to manufacture Gilt-Bronze Shoes. Therefore, it is believed that Gilt-Bronze Shoes requiring precious metals as well as special techniques were usually manufactured by the government-managed workshop at the center of Baekje and then, granted to localities. Gilt-Bronze Shoes are often excavated together with Gilt-Bronze Caps, Sword with a Decorated Ring Pommel, Golden Ear Ornaments and Chinese ceramics, from the same ancient tombs. The author restored and manufactured six pieces of Baekje Gilt-Bronze Shoes. In the process, it was difficult to achieve the expected results, since Baekje’s own techniques could not clearly recognized. Therefore, this paper attempted to secure basic materials for facilitating the restoration of the archetype of them in the future, by comparatively analyzing Gilt-Bronze Shoes and manufacturing techniques in neighboring countries. The common point of Beakje Gilt-Bronze Shoes is that right and left side plates are combined on the center lines of them and gilt-bronze nails are embedded on the base planes. Baekje Gilt-Bronze Shoes that have been excavated until now can be largely grouped into four categories based on kinds of patterns, expression techniques and manufacture techniques, and they can be also subdivided according to differences in detailed traits. Gilt-Bronze Shoes were popularized not only in Baekje, but also in neighboring countries. Among them, those in Koguryo, Baekje and Silla were prominently different in their forms. On the other hand, Gilt-Bronze Shoes in Baekje seem to have significant effects on those in Gaya and Wae(Japan). Gilt-Bronze Shoes was one of prestige goods popularized in each country in the Korean peninsula during the 4th-6th century, and each relic contains unique techniques and cultures.
