EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite ornament from the Goryeo period, specifically the 12th-13th century. The artwork features a pair of lotus flowers and carp, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune in Korean culture. The intricate design is rendered in bronze with a stunning blue and gold color palette, adding to its allure. Displayed against a pristine white background, this close-up shot allows us to appreciate every delicate detail of the piece. The craftsmanship is truly remarkable, highlighting the skill and artistry of the unknown artist who created it centuries ago. Housed at the Arthur M Sackler Gallery within the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art, this heritage art embodies both beauty and historical significance. It serves as a testament to Korea's rich artistic traditions during the Goryeo dynasty. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this ornament also holds educational value for visitors to this scientific institution. Its depiction of aquatic life and plant motifs provides insight into nature's influence on ancient Korean society. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image captured by an anonymous photographer, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only its decorative purpose but also its cultural significance within Korean history.
