fun fact: 
Closed kilns built on hillsides became widely used for producing this type of pottery vessel in Korea during the Three Kingdoms period.

digital description: 


wall description: 
Pottery vessels, such as this one, were produced
 in sloping tunnel kilns that reached 1,000 to
 1,200 degrees Celsius. This jar’s bulbous body
 with delicate horn-shaped handles suggests that it may have served to present offerings to
 the deceased. This type of high-fired terracotta vessel is usually excavated from tomb sites
 in the southwestern region of the Korean
 peninsula.
