Kinreizuka - Kinreizuka

Japanese: 金鈴塚 - きんれいづか
Kinreizuka - Kinreizuka

A wooden coffin tomb made of piled stone from Silla during the Three Kingdoms period, located in Gyeongju, South Korea. It is estimated to be a circular tomb with a base diameter of about 18 meters and a height of about 5 meters, and the wooden coffin and wooden burial chamber have decayed and disappeared. A gold crown, earrings, bracelets, rings, a belt, and a waist strap were excavated from inside the coffin, all still wearing the garments. The tomb was named after a small gold bell that was excavated from the right side of the waist strap. The small ornaments and narrow spacing between them make it believed to be the tomb of a Silla prince. A large number of grave goods were excavated from inside the coffin, arranged in three tiers: containers on the lower tier, horse equipment and lacquerware on the middle tier, and weapons and ornaments on the upper tier. Among them, the small imitation mirror, the horse-riding figure pottery and the boat-shaped pottery are rare items not found in other Silla tombs. They are thought to date to around the middle of the 6th century.

Japanese:

韓国(大韓民国)、慶州(けいしゅう/キョンジュ)市にある三国時代新羅(しらぎ)の積石木槨墳(つみいしもっかくふん)。底径約18メートル、高さ約5メートルの円墳と推定され、木槨、木棺は腐敗してなくなっていた。棺内にあたる所からは金製冠、耳飾、釧(くしろ)、指輪、銙帯(かたい)、腰佩(ようはい)などが、着装された状態で出土し、腰佩右わきの所から出土した小さな金鈴からこの名称がつけられた。装身具類が小形で、その配置間隔が狭いことなどから新羅の王子の墓と考えられている。槨内にあたる所からは、下段に容器類、中段に馬具、漆器類、上段に武器、装身具類と、3段になって多数の副葬品が出土した。そのうち仿製(ぼうせい)小形百乳鏡、騎馬人物土器と舟形土器は、他の新羅古墳にはみられない珍しいものである。ほぼ6世紀中葉ごろを中心とした年代と考えられる。
