Abstract

The purpose of this study is to make further examinations into any changes and developmental aspects of bronze vessels excavated from ancient tombs of Silla. In order to achieve the purpose, this study focused on analyzing certain bronze vessels excavated from ancient tombs of Silla (e.g. jeong [鼎], choho [鐎壺], chodu (鐎斗), uldu (熨斗) and hab (盒). On the basis of such analysis, this study examined phased characteristics and temporal changes of bronze vessels excavated from ancient tombs of Silla. As a result, the bronze vessels excavated from ancient tombs of Silla can be broadly divided into two phases: Phase is a period at which bronze vessels began to appear in ancient tombs of Silla for the first time. During Phase , bronze vessels began to appear in Q1, 6th century and were mostly discovered from ancient tombs established in Q2, 6th century. Finally, this study addressed questions about historical introduction and production of bronze vessels in ancient tombs. As a result, it was found that there are the following 4 cases of bronze vessels introduced or produced: First, some bronze vessels were introduced from foreign countries (origins). These vessels can fall broadly into two types. Secondly, some bronze vessels were chartered from foreign countries (origins) for about 100 years before their burial in ancient tombs of Silla. Thirdly, some bronze vessels of ancient tombs in Silla were influenced by and modeled after those made in foreign countries (origins). Fourthly, some bronze vessels were produced with original characteristics of excavation site (Silla) after they were independently changed there. This case of vessels is different in form, detailed properties and making method from those introduced from foreign origins.
