國立慶州博物館 所藏 線刻畵 뚜껑(경주고적2713·13430)에 그려진 圖像에 대한 一考察 = A Study on the Iconography Carved on the Gyeongju National Museum Items Kyk2713 and 13430

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The items Kyk2713 and 13430 housed in the Gyeongju National Museum collection were discovered while organizing materials recovered during the period of Japanese occupation. They are presumed to be lids for large high-footed cups or long-necked jars. The upper surfaces of these lids feature unprecedentedly realistic relief carvings. These carvings can be categorized into seven main themes including horse-riding fig ures, figures riding auspicious creatures, game animals (presumed to be deer), dogs, and unidentified figures. Upon reviewing previously known relief carvings, it is evident that the level of detail and narrative found in these iconographies is substantial and most comparable to the procession depicted on a long-necked jar unearthed from Tomb No. 44 in the Jjoksaem District in Gyeongju.
Based on extant survey records from the Japanese colonial period, it can be inferred that the items were excavated in 1926 from the small tumuli cluster in Hwangnam-ri in Gyeongju, likely from stone mound tombs like Gap or Byeong. Furthermore, based on existing research on Silla earthenware, the items can be estimated to have been produced around the mid-fifth century.
The dynamic detailed iconography of the artifacts is believed to be closely related to the mural paintings of Goguryeo tombs. The headdress decorations of the horse-riding figures, the depiction of the horses, and the scenes of hunting game are remarkably similar to the hunting scene painted in Muyongchong Tomb and the horse-riding scene found in Ssangyeongchong Tomb. Additionally, the figures riding auspicious creatures, including dragons, resemble the illustrations of Daoist immortals found in tombs no. 4 and 5 at Ohoebun, a complex of Goguryeo burials.
These carvings seem to be the result of the incorporation into Silla traditions of motifs arriving through the relationship with Goguryeo that began with the extensive support for the Silla Kingdom provided by King Gwanggaeto the Great in 400 C.E. This paper also asserts that they also reflect the widespread influence of Daoist ideology throughout East Asia during the period.
