I could not but laughing as soon as looking at small decorated statue on the surface of the vessel of 5 century AD.
No one seemed to notice the secret of the earthenware vessel.
It was lucky for me to find out this interesting figure in this museum.
There were lots of pupils when I entered into the museum. Plus the teachers were eager to show many relics as long as possible to their pupils. So I could not get closer to the displaying window. At that time, I saw an window where the earthenwares were displayed.
There were no people in front of this window.
I got closer to there and looked at the window waiting for my order.
There were lots of earthenware things in the window. Too many things were displayed in one window. So it was inconvenient to looking around due to the narrow space.
Suddenly an interesting small figure came to my eyes.
That was a sex posture. I laughed silently. I understood why the teachers escaped from this window.
So I got to closer to the vessel and took the photos.
In my guess, the sex figure was the symbol of the fecundity.
Interest thing was a posture having sex.
The bottom of woman was well made.
And the size of penis was exaggerated.
Actually people in Shilla dynasty was very liberal with the sexual intercourse according to the records.
Anyway this vessel gave me a secret pleasure. It is first time to reveal my secret in public.
What made me amazing was a candle stand of the dragon.
The face of the dragon was so vivid and the decorations were so nice.
There were other many figures of the earthenware.
These figures reminded me of that of the Sinan Wrecked ship.
Why did they make small figures?
Why did people need these small figures in Korea, Japan and China ?
Thank you for reading
They are very well preserved! In all the museums of the world these ancient figurines are found. Perhaps they are propitiatory or thankful signs. It's incredible ... they look the same all over the world ...
Thank you so much
thanks
The vases on top don't look ruined to me. Even the chips and breaks look like decorations. I appreciate this kind of art. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for comment
People say, miniatures are children's games. To me, a miniature is like a diamond, 12+ Best miniature toys of the year, you have it? #SoCool #SaveTrumph XD
This is lovely...already having a tour through a section of a museum without physical presence. cool
LOL
an interesting post, @slowwalker.
I assume the ancients used figurines the same way we do now for decorative purposes.
The depiction of sexuality although shocking to some was reflective of a more balanced approach to life.
Moderns think they invented sex, but in ways the modern era has perverted it by taking it out of the context of life and using photography or cinematography to isolate on body parts to the detriment of the whole person and the wider context of sex in relationship to romance and love.
Ironically, I was thinking about this today when I posted my story and used a photo of a beautiful journalist from the 1930's named Lee Miller. She was a libertine and her sexual exploits would be shocking even by today's standards.
So, as Faulkner said, the past is not dead, it isn't even past.
Have a good day, my friend :)
thank you for your comment
Yes, the sex is our part of life.
Our thought on the sex must be a result of Hebraism in my guess.
Are these pots all made of clay, I am amazed the figures on the pot lasted so long! from the 5 Century AD!
Wow, truly impressive and great story! thank you for sharing the post.

Teachers always avoiding situations and uncomfortable questions from their students jajajaja. Gretings.
;D
Lol.. Innocent teachers... They had to bring the students out because if someone asked teacher what is that? and other student replys it's doggy style... The teacher would be shocked then...
I have no idea why they made these little pupits...
Haha.

Interesting art though, Thanks for sharing xx

it must be
That figurine has the cock as big as the hand lol.
very fantastic art.
surreal & great!
this story is very funny. ha ha ha
I didn't notice there was sex figure on the vessel when I saw the first pic.
ㅋㅋㅋ확대된사진보고 빵터젔습니다
There has to be some hidden amazing history surrounding the small figures. If you dig deeper, you might be quite impressed by what you will find.
In my opinion, the sex figure shouldn't be exposed, it should be carefully tucked away in an area marked 18 plus➕ or something. This way, a set of school children will not bump into it.
Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you for comment
I'm a new follower but this was a excellent post with quality images my friend, I am green for more posts.
Actually, i have post that you can check on
;))
It is truly artistic artifacts, but because it is small, we do not know what it is
Perhaps it made things small for ease of carrying as we know in the past everyone was walking on his feet for long distances
And if someone was carrying something big or huge slows down his movements.
;))
lol you've a very naughty side , many people haven't noticed the posture when they saw the first pic (including me ) . Lol !! I think you're a pro ;)
historical thing very nice.. thanks for sharing
I'm Gyeongju Kim family~~ ^______^
That's a really great place to visit dear @slowwalker,
And those earthenware are superb and I wonder how they crafted them in the past and they are still in a great shape also,
Well the girl figure was quite funny and I can now understand why you use the title of the post as "Only For Adult"😂😂
And I personally like that Dragon Candle holder because the are work on that one is exceptionally beautiful.
Thanks for sharing these beautiful relics dear @slowwalker.
Thank you so much
The sex one is funny, right under everyone's noses! I have been watching the Olympics from South Korea, they have been showing many fascinating places and stories about Korea. My father was in the war there. I hope to visit someday.
Thank you for your reading
