azucena Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 That looks great! As a fun addon, you could also look at this slideshow from an upcoming exhibition at the Met: http://metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2013/koreas-golden-kingdom/works-on-view. The artefacts are from 400 - 800 AD, but really pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
