EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable costume ornament from the Goryeo period, specifically dating back to the 12th-13th century. The exquisite craftsmanship of this piece is truly awe-inspiring, and it is no wonder that its creator remains unknown. The ornament features a delicate peony flower, meticulously crafted in bronze with intricate gilding. The vibrant blue color adds an enchanting touch to this decorative brooch, which was likely used to adorn traditional Korean attire during that era. Displayed against a pristine white background, the close-up shot allows us to appreciate every detail of this ancient treasure. Its gold accents shimmer under the light, emphasizing the skillful metalwork employed by its maker. As we gaze upon this artifact, we are transported back in time to the glorious Goryeo dynasty. It serves as a reminder of Korea's rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess. This image can be found at renowned institutions such as Arthur M Sackler Gallery and Freer Gallery of Art - both part of the Smithsonian Institution - where it contributes to educational endeavors in art history and preservation. In capturing this photograph, Heritage Images has immortalized not only an extraordinary object but also our connection with centuries past. It reminds us of nature's enduring beauty symbolized by the peony flower—a testament to human creativity standing strong throughout time.
