Owner : Naju National Museum Scale : 1식 Number : National treasure No. 295 Era : The Three Kingdoms Period(the 5th or 6th century) Material : Gilt-bronze Designated date : 35695 The gilt bronze crown excavated from the Sinchon-ri Ancient Tombs shows traces of Mahan, known as the lost kingdom. The ancient tombs in the Yeongsangang river basin observed at the Bannam Ancient Tombs were constructed as massive burial mounds, even though exclusive jar coffins were used, and they are referred to as “Josan” because they are as big as a mountain. The burial characteristics of these ancient tombs include the burial of a large jar coffin at the peak of the burial mound and the burial of a ho (small jar with a large opening to hold the articles of the buried individual) and accessories. Of particular note, in the case of Sinchon-ri Ancient Tomb No. 9, the body of the deceased was wrapped in hemp cloth and placed on the bottom lining board of a coffin, with a gilt bronze crown, a bracelet, earrings and a necklace placed on the head, a sword and other weapons containing depictions of the phoenix placed on the waist, and gilt bronze shoes on the feet. Based on this, it can be inferred that those who built this ancient tomb had amassed great power. The gilt bronze crown excavated from the ancient tomb has been designated as a national treasure and is now housed at the National Museum of Korea, while other artifacts are on display at the Gwangju National Museum. The gilt bronze crown has been relatively well-preserved, and best demonstrates the crown style unique to Baekje. For this reason, it is considered to have high academic and artistic value.
