Celadon Maebyeong with Inlaid Cloud and Crane Design
This maebyeong, with a curvaceous line descending from the wide shoulder to the slender waist, combines a sensuous form with an enchanting design of cranes flying against a translucent jade-colored sky. Symbolizing nobility and longevity, cranes are one of the representative motifs of Goryeo inlaid celadon. As seen here, many Goryeo crane designs alternate cranes flying upward and downward, conveying a sense of harmony and spaciousness, even when many cranes are depicted in a limited space.
