| Abstract |
| The period of the Three States` gold crowns are a historical and an aesthetic material. It`s Korea`s representative crafts that show culture, religion, spirit and also racial characteristics. The symbolism represents formative beauty, its elements and symmetry embodying the spiritual world. The shape of each Three Countries` Gold Crowns were developed with their own unique religious idea, aspect and culture, combined with their own mythology and shows some similarity. In Goguryeo`s Gold Crowns, we can see very elegant curves with patterns like arabesque, clouds, dragon and phoenix, using the bratticing technique. In Baekjae`s Gold Crowns, it has a peaked hat shape with a decorated flowering plant pattern. In Silla`s Gold Crown, the frames are 山 shapes (Chinese character meaning mountain) as well as antler shapes. They are decorated with half moon shaped jades. Silla`s Gold Crown follow the rule of symmetry. I want to make close analysis of the inner spirits of Gold Crowns and derive from the aesthetic aspects. I want to lay the groundwork for Korean ornament culture. |
