1200 BC - Koryo Dynasty, Korea

1200 BC - Koryo Dynasty, Korea

We uncovered this ancient stoneware cosmetic box and cover. It dates back to the Koryo Dynasty from 1200 BC and contains a S motif as well as a top chrysanthemum design. It currently sits inside the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge. A University famous for its rich history having been founded in 1762. 

A beautiful piece from history but not quite the original S we are all looking for...
