EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Covered Bowl from the Unified Silla dynasty in Korea, dating back to the 7th and 8th centuries. Created by an unknown artist, this ancient artifact is a testament to the rich heritage of Korean art. The bowl's aged appearance tells a story of time passing and history unfolding. The black stoneware with natural ash glaze gives the bowl a striking visual appeal. Its incised decoration adds intricate details that highlight the craftsmanship of its creator. Despite some visible damage, which only enhances its authenticity, this piece remains remarkably beautiful. Displayed in an art gallery at the Art Institute of Chicago, this artwork represents one of many treasures found within their Arts of Asia collection. It serves as a reminder of Korea's artistic contributions and cultural significance throughout history. As we admire this close-up image, we are transported back in time to when this bowl was used for tableware or homeware purposes during the Unified Silla dynasty. Its lid suggests it may have been used for storing precious items or food. While much about its origins remains unknown, this Covered Bowl stands as a symbol connecting us to our past and reminding us of the enduring power and beauty found in ancient artifacts like these from around the world.
