Gobeunok or Gogok are comma-shaped or curved beads and jewels that appeared in prehistoric Korea through the Three Kingdoms period. ==Details== Gogok is also sometimes romanized as "kogok" and "kokkok" or "kokok." They are also found in Siberia and Northeast Asia, but are most numerous in Japan (Magatama). Although usually made from jadeite which mined in Japan, they have been discovered made from many different materials such as nephrite, stone, clay, bone and glass. They range in size range from 1 to 10 cm, have a small hole in the middle of the round part for threading. Used as earrings and necklaces, and as decoration on crowns, belts, and bracelets. Some are further decorated with gold or silver attachments. The curved nature of the gogok beads and their similarities to bear claws has led to a theory of Scytho-Siberian influence and origin created by bear totem tribes.〔http://www.metmuseum.org/explore/publications/pdfs/korea/divided/Materials-Music.pdf#search='comma%20shaped%20silla%20beads'〕 In Korea, jade gogok are found at prehistoric sites.〔(magatama - Britannica Online Encyclopedia )〕 Throughout the Korean peninsula, nephrite gogok are found inand Bronze Age sites in stone burial chambers (stone cists and dolmens). This probably indicates that gogok were symbols of prestige and power buried with the elites of society. The most famous examples of gogok in Korean art are from the Three Kingdoms period, in Silla royal crowns, earrings, necklaces, and belts. These treasures were found in the burial mounds and royal mausoleums of Silla, Baekje, and Gaya kings.〔(The Fitzwilliam Museum : Catalogue Introduction )〕 The ornamental antlers and tree-like structures of the Silla crown and similarities of the crown with works from the Eurasian steppes and Afghanistan suggests vast networks of trade and also reinforces a Scytho-Siberian origin for gogok.〔(Korea, 1–500 A.D. | Timeline of Art History | The Metropolitan Museum of Art )〕 They declined in use from about the middle of the 6th century.〔(야후! 백과사전 - 곡옥 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gogok」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
