This
wine pot, a fine example of Korean metalwork, has a hinged lid
topped by a lotus bud knob. Its distinctive shape, which originated
in China, also appears in Korean celadon-glazed ceramic wine pots.
Several centuries later, the form was adopted in Japan, where
Buddhist priests used the bronze ceremonial vessels as containers
for water to cleanse their hands.
