Lidded Jar with Four Horn Lugs, AD 200s-400s. Korea, Kaya period (AD 42-562). Earthenware; diameter of mouth: cm (4 1/2 in.); overall: 25 x cm (9 13/16 x 8 7/16 in.). Closed kilns built on hillsides became widely used for producing this type of pottery vessel in Korea during the Three Kingdoms period. Both its gray color and shimmering glaze are the result of the reduction of oxygen in the closed kiln chamber built on hillsides.
