Silver Bowls with Lid

Three similar sets of silver bowls with lids were excavated from the Southern Peak of Hwangnamdaechong (the Great Tomb at Hwangnam), stacked on top of one another. Both the bowl and the lid were cast from silver plates. The brim of the lid is bent slightly outwards, and at
the top, there is a knob attached with a round hook, in the shape of a three-tipped leaf. The basin of the bowl is flat at the bottom, with the sides curving up to an edge that is again bent slightly outwards along the rim. Only the knob and the mouth of the bowl were gold-plated, presumably for decoration.
