ASI.Korean Collection Highlights The MFA’s collection of Korean art is one of the finest in the United States, containing more than 1,000 works ranging from the Bronze Age to the present day. It is particularly rich in decorative arts—metalwork, celadon, and lacquers—from the Goryeo dynasty (918–1392) and Buddhist paintings from both the Goryeo and Joseon dynasties (1392–1910). /internal/media/dispatcher/1193100/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Avalokitesvara with Water and Moon late 18th century 17.1636 28488 /internal/media/dispatcher/1448911/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail The Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha late 14th century 11.6139 10489 /internal/media/dispatcher/1208393/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Box with mother-of-pearl inlay 17th–18th century 50.1685a-b 20998 /internal/media/dispatcher/747149/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Buddhist reliquary 14th century 39.591a-f 19127 /internal/media/dispatcher/1208424/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Buddhist temple bell 12th century 1972.388 22542 /internal/media/dispatcher/922301/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Ewer 12th century 35.646.1a-d 17938 /internal/media/dispatcher/1592176/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Falcon on a Perch 16th century Yi Am 11.6164 25411 /internal/media/dispatcher/1212694/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Flask with fish and scroll design late 15th century 99.298 7714 /internal/media/dispatcher/1128094/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Flower-shaped box with stylized chrysanthemums 13th-14th century 34.69a-b 17906 /internal/media/dispatcher/1199398/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Incense Burner late 12th century 69.1044a-b 22469 /internal/media/dispatcher/616367/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Luohan figure 13th century 50.1004 20443 /internal/media/dispatcher/974359/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Medicine Buddha 8th century 32.436 17858 /internal/media/dispatcher/1032779/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Medicine Buddha Triad with Twelve Guardians late 16th century 19.265 15197 /internal/media/dispatcher/1208372/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Melon-shaped ewer with inlaid peony and chrysanthemum 13th century 50.985a-b 20424 /internal/media/dispatcher/1214060/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Melon-shaped vase with flower-shaped mouth first half of the 12th century 59.308 22064 /internal/media/dispatcher/1212768/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Moon jar early 18th century 50.1040 20477 /internal/media/dispatcher/836453/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Pair of earrings 6th century 19.699 15362 /internal/media/dispatcher/1212763/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Peach-shaped water dropper 19th century 50.1142 20578 /internal/media/dispatcher/1448913/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Perfect Enlightenment Sutra Illumination 14th century 11.6142 25398 /internal/media/dispatcher/794153/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Prunus vase with inlaid bamboo and cranes early 13th century 50.989 20428 /internal/media/dispatcher/1267459/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Screen with paintings and calligraphy 19th century 1994.81 149974 /internal/media/dispatcher/1155047/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Sutra box 13th century 11.10556 150045 /internal/media/dispatcher/1128097/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Sutra case 12th-13th century 67.1 22379 /internal/media/dispatcher/1199437/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Translated Vase 2011 Yee Sookyung 2011.233 554286 /internal/media/dispatcher/1203852/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Wrapping cloth (sangpo) early 20th century 2009.4385 527604
