This is a burial urn unearthed from Namsan Mountain in Gyeongju. It exhibits a green glaze and is decorated with a dazzling stamped water drop and flower design. The animal face-shaped adornments, attached to the upper part of the body, are thought to be handles. The lid is fitted with a knob whose shape resembles an Indian pagoda.
