Details
The Chunma Chong (Heavenly Horse Tomb) is a burial mound from the Silla Kingdom in Gyeongju, South Korea, dating back to the 5th or 6th century. The tomb yielded a magnificent gold crown, now designated as National Treasure No. 188 of Korea, renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship and symbolic motifs. This crown is a prime example of the artistry and wealth of the Silla period, reflecting the kingdom's advanced metalworking techniques.
The crown features intricate goldwork, adorned with jade and glass ornaments, and is topped with representations of tree branches and antlers, symbolizing the connection between the earthly and spiritual realms. The "Heavenly Horse" motif, from which the tomb derives its name, is also a significant element in Silla art. Replicas and smaller versions of such treasures are often produced for cultural appreciation and as collectibles.
