Physical Description
This vessel consists of a cup with an outward-flaring mouth supported on an inverted V-shaped pedestal foot. A single oval-shaped handle is attached to the underside of the cup. The pedestal foot is decorated with four vertical rectangular perforations. Immediately below this is a pair of thin horizontal ridges, which also encircle the body of the cup.
Subject Matter
Three Kingdoms period: tall pedestals with triangular or rectangular perforations that were often paired with round jars. Pieces similar to this cup have been discovered from earthen mound tombs in Pusan on the southeastern coast of Korea where the Kaya Federation briefly flourished alongside the more powerful three kingdoms of Koguryo, Baekje, and Silla.
