![This dark grayish-blue earthenware vessel is from the Goryeo period. The neck flares out toward the top and the mouth spreads widely out to the side. The neck and body are encircled by two thick incised line. The body has gently sloping sides that flare out and then taper down toward the base.<br />
<br />
This is a grayish black, high-fired stoneware bottle. Its neck splays to form a curved profile, and the edge of its rim is round. The body is widest at its lower part and connected to the neck without a break. Double or triple incised lines run around the body in two places. The section between the neck and the rim shows clear traces of glaze, though this cannot be determined for the rest of the bottle. The center of the base is slightly recessed.

![An instrument consisting of a hollow sound box, a bamboo beck, two pegs in the upper neck wound with strings, two strings, and a bow. The sound box is made of sanyuja wood.<br />
<br />
This is a traditional Korean musical instrument with two strings. Sound is produced by the friction between strings made from several strands of thin silk thread and bowstrings made of horsehair. Its unique sound has earned the haegeum alternative, onomatopoeic names such as gaenggaengi and aenggeum. The instrument consists of a hollow sound box, a bamboo neck, two pegs in the upper neck each wound with a string, the strings themselves, and a separate bow. The pegs are currently detached from the neck. The sound box is made of sanyuja wood (Xylosma congestum).

![This mirror features designs of two birds, coupled with floral motifs, positioned symmetrically on the left and right sides. Eight-foiled barbed bronze mirror is general. This type is a modified form of that.<br />
<br />
This blue-green bronze mirror decorated with a double crane design is excellently cast. It is five-lobed, and the registers are also divided by five-lobe shaped ridge. The outer register is decorated with scroll design while the inner register is adorned with a pair of cranes, with wings spread and heads turned right, arranged on either side of the central suspension loop against the honeysuckle scroll background. This object may be compared to other crane-patterned mirrors excavated from the Geumcheondong site tomb in Cheongju, Chungcheongbuk-do Province.

![This dark grayish-blue earthenware vessel is from the Goryeo period. The neck flares out toward the top and the mouth spreads out to the side. The neck is encircled by a thick incised line. A lot of thin lines are encircled on the body. The body has gently sloping sides that flare out and then taper down toward the base and is slightly flatted. Flatted bottle was produced by making a globular body first on the wheel, then flattening it on both sides.<br />
<br />
This is a dark gray, high-fired stoneware bottle. Its neck curves outwards and is connected to a rim with a round edge. The body is widest at its middle. The bottle is entirely covered in distinct traces of rotation and water smoothing.
