Jade has historically been associated with power in Korea, and was used to make objects and decorations for the aristocracy. During the Old Shilla Period, comma-shaped jades such as these were the most essential decorative element of the gold crowns and ornaments used for the burials of kings, queens, and other aristocrats. After the state of Shilla united the Korean Peninsula in 668, the use of jade in prestigious mortuary objects declined, brought on by the arrival of Buddhism and the ebbing of shamanism.

This panel shows a figure with a human body and the features of a rat, which is one of the signs of the Asian zodiac, and is likely one of 12 granite panels from a royal tomb. It is probably from Gyeongju—the capital of the kingdoms of the Old Shilla (57 BC–AD 668) and Unified Shilla (688–935) periods—where large royal tomb mounds can still be found. This panel resembles those showing the animal signs of the Korean zodiac from the tomb of General Kim Yusin (595–673) in Gyeongju, the most famous tomb of the period.

This celadon tea or soup bowl was used by the royal or aristocratic class in the Goryeo period. The inside is incised with three flying birds that, because of their long chins, are assigned to the parrot design by Korean scholars.
