This roof-end tile features an abstract floral design called a “bosanghwa” scroll, a motif that originated from the Sassanian Empire around the seventh century before being transmitted to Silla in the mid-eighth century, where it took on a more lavish style. Bosanghwa scrolls generally consist of a round flower with overlapping layers of symmetrical petals; here, the first layer has four petals, the second has six petals, the third has eight petals, and the fourth has ten petals. When appearing on Silla roof-end tiles, the bosanghwa scroll usually has an S-shaped stem with various flowers and leaves on it, for added resplendence. In some cases, the scroll flows in a single direction, while other times, two scrolls move in opposite directions.
