Excavated from a Gaya tomb in Changnyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do, this bronze bowl is believed to have been used mainly as a utensil for major rites. The bowl was produced in the Gyeongju area around the sixth century before being transferred to the Changnyeong area, which had previously been ruled by Silla.
