In late 2019, 5th century earthenware was discovered in Sowol-ri, Gyeongsan, Gyeongsangbuk-do.

An unknown pottery with a face on three sides,

Immediately after excavation, I was nominated for the Nuri Communication Network Profile Photo by the Cultural Heritage Administration.

Out of the three faces, the one that I wanted to say the most was found out.

Even now, a year later, questions continue to be asked whether the hole was the eye, nose, mouth or eyebrows, eyes, and mouth.

[박미영 / 문화재청 온라인 홍보 담당자 : 두 개 구멍 사이에 오목하고 올라온 부분이 있는데 그게 콧대로 보입니다. 그래서 눈, 코, 입이 맞습니다만 눈썹, 눈, 입으로 보면 매우 귀여워 보인다고들 많이 말씀해주십니다.]

A cute expression that seems to be profound heralds the birth of a star.

Other ancient artifacts such as Neolithic shells and Shilla Tow also have funny faces.

In Wolseong, the site of the royal palace in Silla, a unique inkstone bridge appeared 6 years ago.

The smiling pig face was engraved.

Recently, it was reborn as’Kuri’, the character of the National Institute of Cultural Heritage.

In the exhibition room of the National Palace Museum, there is a tiger with a confused expression.

It is a traditional instrument named’uh’.

When you play the music of the royal rites, you hit your head and scratch your back to signal the end of the movement.

There are many times when you look at our artifacts carefully and smile.
