Roof tiles produced during the Unified Silla period grew much more austere. This example is a beast-shaped end tile. In the center of the surface rests a seated creature. A beast symbolizes both a king and valor, and is also considered a guardian of Buddhist law. These were used to dispel evil spirits during the Unified Silla period.
