This is a house-shaped pottery object unearthed in Hyeonpung, Daegu. The house displays one particularly unique feature, i.e., it can only be entered via a ladder. The house is presumed to be a private home as it has a thatched roof and a chimney. It also features a humorous scene of two mice on the ladder who appear surprised by the sight of a cat.
