Jeju National Museum will hold a special exhibition, FIGURATIVE POTTERIES: Actualization of Heartfelt Prayers, from Sept. 6 to Oct. 16 for the 10th anniversary of the museum’s establishment.

Korean figurative potteries are usually excavated from giant tumuli of the third to sixth century, in which ancient countries began to be established. Shaped after human, animals, or things, the figurative potteries are very special with unique aesthetic value and symbolic meaning that they deliver the dead’s spirit to heaven.

The museum will exhibit 30 Korean representative figurative potteries, including horse and rider-shaped pottery (National Treasure No. 91) and wheel-shaped pottery (Treasure No. 637). The horse and rider shaped pottery was excavated from a Silla royal family tumulus Geumryeongchol. It is a work on which a horse and a man are expressed realistically, which shows the horse-riding culture and social atmosphere of Silla.

Others to be exhibited are figurative potteries in the shape of a house, wheel, horse, bird, and animal’s horn. They express house structure, carrying tools, domestic animals, and sacred animals in ancient times, showing their way of life and spiritual world.

The potteries are those exhibited in national museums including the National Museum of Korea and 12 university organizations. For more information, call the Jeju National Museum, 064-720-8104.
