@article{oai:toyama.repo.nii.ac.jp:00007466, author = {三船, 温尚}, journal = {高岡短期大学紀要}, month = {}, note = {application/pdf, After our previous investigation of a bronze eight-belled rattle (bronze disk with eight prongs and bells), we investigated bronze bell finials with the aim of analyzing the bronze casting techniques used in ancient Korea. The finials were allegedly excavated in Jukdongri, Gyeongju and are housed in the Gyeongju National Museum. Eight-belled rattles and bell finials were both made in pairs, but because our research of an eight-belled rattle examined only one of the pair, it could not fully analyze the casting techniques employed to make two identical bronze products in ancient Korea On reflection, we examined both of the pair of finials. The similarities and differences observed between the two finials drew following inferences concerning the casting techniques. 1. The incised patterns on the two finials match each other. This indicates that the pair was cast from two different molds formed from a same model (master form). 2. The two bell finials have a lengthwise seam and a crosswise seam, which indicates that the outer molds probably consisted of four segments. 3. The inner molds (core) were made with following procedures. 1. Sand was poured into the outer mold to be shape into cores. 2. The sand was divided into two sections: the top section with a little bronze ball inside and the bottom section. 3. The outer mold was removed from the sand molds. 4. The surfaces of the sand molds were shaved off to make the cavity to pour molten bronze. 5. The string holes were made with a kind of bow drills., Article}, pages = {235--256}, title = {古代韓国青銅竿頭鈴の鋳造技法に関する調査報告と考察}, volume = {20}, year = {2005} }
