玉柄 형태의 禮器 용도 분석 = Analysis of the use of jade handle-shaped objects

국문 초록 (Abstract)

‘玉柄形器’는 보통 ‘玉柄’으로 약칭하며, 玉으로 제조된 자루 모양의 기물이다. 玉柄은 대체로 20cm 이하의 작은 크기이며, 소수를 제외한 대부분은 특이한 무늬나 색채를 갖고 있지 않다.
玉柄은 고대에 어떠한 용도로 제작되었을까? 이 해답을 얻기 위하여 玉柄에 기록된 기물명 자형 ‘瓚’ 考釋과 전래문헌의 풀이, 출토 상황 등 비교적 다각적인 시각을 통해 분석을 진행하였다.
결과적으로 玉柄은 청동 酒器에 세워 넣어 제례 의식에 사용된 물품으로 정의할 수 있다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The term “玉柄形器,” often abbreviated as “玉柄,” refers to artifacts with jade handles, typically of a small size, usually measuring 20 cm or less. Most of these handles lack distinct patterns or colors, with a few exceptions.
What was the original purpose of these ancient jade-handled objects? To find an answer, a comprehensive analysis was conducted, involving the interpretation of the character “瓚” inscribed on the jade handles, insights from historical texts, and the examination of excavated artifacts.
The object name shape “” shown in the “玉柄” is a complex hieroglyph that shows a 玉器 type of goods standing on the “同”.
In addition, “玉柄” can be found mostly in ancient tombs, were used as important ritual tools based on tomb conditions and literature records, and were used with bronze wine vessels (酒器).
The results suggest that these jade handles were likely used as components placed inside bronze wine vessels (酒器) for ceremonial rituals.
