This pottery was excavated from Tomb No. 7 in the Bokcheon-dong Cemetery in Dongnae-gu, Busan, where a total of ten tombs of the cemetery were explored by the Seokdang Museum of Dong-A university from 1969 until 1972. The horn-shared cup is a cylindrical pottery container that is shaped like a bull’s horn and primarily used for holding and pouring liquids. One end of the drinking horn-shared cup is a horse’s head with two legs attached to its cylindrical body, allowing it to be placed stably on a surface. After being shaped with good clay, the entire surface was trimmed with a carving knife, and below the rim section there are traces of finishing done by damp fingers. In so doing, the horsehead section expresses a certain level of realism and appears lifelike. It is presumed that the origin is the rhyton found in ancient Greece and Persia and also the cup is similar to the horn-shared cup of the Sasanian Empire located in present-day Iran.
