The Decorations Found At The Tomb Of King And Queen : Ear Ring, Necklace and Bracelets

in #history7 years ago

The decorations were displayed behind the golden crowns.

Those decorations were priceless due to the scarcity of Baekje relics. Moreover those relics found in the tomb of King Muryeong were only case that the owner was confirmed.
Because most of Baekje relics were stolen, the owners of relics were not known in many cases.

There were 3 designated national treasuries among the decoration displayed in museum.
I’d like to introduce these treasuries in this posting.

The first thing attracted my interest was the earring.

It looked not special at first, but the researcher of the museum explained it’s uniqueness.
The most astonishing part was this earring was made up of 99.9 % pure gold.

It meant that the refining techniques of Baekje Kingdom was very advanced to other civilizations.
The researcher told me that the pure gold content of the earrings was 98 % in Shilla Kingdom.

It was said that the working in gold was more delicate in Baekje Kingdom than Shilla Kingdom.

When I was looking around the museum for Shilla relics in Gyeongju, I didn’t notice comparative workmanship in gold between Baekje and Shilla.
I think I need to visit the museum in Gyeongju once again to look at the relics more carefully.

Second treasury was the necklace.

The necklace was Queen’s and also golden. But the uniqueness of this necklace was it’s design and technique. All parts composing this necklace were same size and it had same bending angle.

In this reason, this necklace could be designated as the national treasury.

The king’s necklace was also found, but Queen’s necklace was evaluated more valuable in artistic quality.

The third was queen’s bracelets.
The queen’s bracelets were made up of silver.
The researcher explained the reason designated as the national treasury was the record written inside of the bracelet.

In this record, the maker of the bracelet and the weight of silver were written.
The most interest fact was the unit of the weigh was smaller than “g”

The fact Baekje Kingdom had used smaller weight unit than “g” showed the advanced technology of Baekje people.

Even though there were not many relics of Baekje, it was sufficient that those treasuries astonish us for the superiority of Baekje Kingdom’s technology.

Thank you for reading.

You mentioned a variety of ear rings of Queen. And every Ear ring has its own uniqueness and design which make it different from others.

Thank you for comment

Hello brother @slowwalker
How are you, are you fine?

I think it's look interesting potrait, beautiful photography about historian potrait.

Regards brother,

whoa, these artefacts still look so new!

very beautiful jewelry, @slowwalker.

In a previous post you lamented losing the history of the Baekje dynasty, one of the most advanced cultures in the Korean Ancient World.

Apparently there are no large architectural remains such as pagodas or Buddha statues but you have discovered some exquisitely crafted jewelry.

In a way, this is much more personal because these necklaces and the silver bracelet were worn by the king and queen.

Your photos of the gold pieces shining in the light were very impressive. It's apparent that the craftsmanship is very delicate and the refining techniques produced articles that glow with beauty.

My eye was drawn to the queen's necklace which looked very simple and natural - at first, I thought it was a very humble necklace made from bamboo but your closeup photos revealed the fine artistry of the links and the precisely wound gold wire.

National treasures are not always great monuments - sometimes they are tiny beautifully wrought ornaments for personal wear.

A thing can be perfect despite its dimensions.

Have a good day, my friend.

Thank you for visiting and comment.
Have a nice weekend

The photography with details helps me a lot to know the historical truth.thank you.

Great artifact.... Thanks a lot for sharing

최근에 일본의 철 재련기술에 대한 영상을 보았습니다. 거기서 순도 95%이상되는 철을 만들고 있는데 그 기술을 알려주었던 사람들이 백제 사람이라고 하더라고요, 그래서 그 장인의 작업장 뒤에는 백제인을 모시는 사당이 있을 정도였습니다.
아마 백제의 재련 기술은 최고였나봅니다. 선생님께서 포스팅한 것처럼 순도 높은 금이라던지 왕비의 목걸이라던지 대단한 기술이 지금까지 전해지지 못 한게 참 아쉽네요
오늘도 좋은 글 감사합니다.

감사합니다.

the historical stuff is precious.

It's an amazing invention of the past. It looks like they have been very advanced in the field of technology at that time. They already have tools to make things very well. Thanks for sharing @slowwalker.

thank you for sharing post @slowwalker

Thank you for dropping by

it makes me wonder how our civilization has yet to be even more advanced than our current state. If they were able to do that long ago, it sort of tells me that we aren't advancing that quickly. i've got no problem though. as long as scientists and presidents consider humanity first.

craftsmanship was not so advanced compare to the past.
technology is another problem

It was a nice and useful informations.
Thanks

참으로 정교하고 아름다운 금장식입니다

They are indeed very beautiful and they do tell many things how they appreciated the jewelry and the designs of them do look very great and rich as well.The purity is indeed very rich as well 99.9 % that is also great to know.

Yes, the purity of the gold was amazing

It is quite amazing that the workmanship in Baekje was highly sophisticated and advanced.
Thank you for a good posting.

Thank you for comment

🎨 Hello! @slowwalker and everyone reading👋
I Invite you all to take a look at these Venezuelan artists and their artworks that go mostly unnoticed on the steemit platform.

Thank you!

jewelry is very beautiful, and very meaningful, certainly very expensive, successful for @slowwalker

I guess back in the days they take craftmanship very seriously. Also kind of weird the Queens necklace was valuated higher than the Kings Necklace. I understand the artistic details in the Queens version were more detailed. But on the other hand historically wise, the King's necklage could also be much more because of just him being the King right?

luar biasa. membuatku tercengang

What beautiful and curious jewels, I love your interest in these relics and especially that you take the time to show us and explain us, you do it very well!

The truth is that we all know that they are very advanced for the time and that is great.

So much history behind this jewelry.

Beautiful pictures :)

just beautiful jewelry..thanks...(and thus far, my market reports have been quite accurate..thanks for your support.)

Chinese, Japanese and Korean culture and their history never failed to amaze me. They always got some interesting in there. Wow!! Thanks.

Very nice!

These were true civilization. The art and smith work is exceptional. Never knew of Baekje Kingdom and Shilla. I just have to go back to history. Thanks for this

Nice post, success is always for you friend

Unique relics, I especially liked the Queen's necklace. Such a simple and delicate design, made of pure gold. Even after many years, it looks impressive. Deep non-sparkling color of real gold.

interesting article and well written blog. Enjoy your travels!

Your post is so fascinating, I'm always pending that you publish, the truth is of my interest, and it's great to read them

It may be that 0.1% that is not gold bothered the queen lol.

Great pieces of jewelry, thanks for sharing :)

waow amazing Looking very attractive
