Storage Jar with Loop Handles, AD 200s-300s. Korea, Kaya period (AD 42-562). Earthenware with impressed and incised designs; diameter: 34.3 cm (13 1/2 in.); overall: 32.1 cm (12 5/8 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, John L. Severance Fund 1989.475 The function of this type of large jar remains unknown, yet it is highly likely that it was used to store harvested grains and seeds. The loops on its round shoulder suggest that the jar once had a lid fastened by cords, to strengthen its seal. Below its short neck, the vessel’s entire body is decorated with rows of short vertical and diagonal lines probably created by grooving and impressing the clay.
