Crafted by an unknown artist, this piece showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and devotion of the Goryeo period. Another remarkable artifact is the "Lobed Cup and Stand with Chrysanthemum Flower Heads, Floral Sprays, and Fish Amid" created in the 12th or 13th century. Its intricate design features delicate chrysanthemum flower heads and fish motifs amidst floral sprays—a testament to the refined aesthetics of Goryeo ceramics. A glimpse into their decorative arts can be seen through objects like the "Covered Cosmetic Box with Petalled Rosette, Flying Cranes, Stylized Clouds, and Layered.
