Celadon Male and Female Roof-Tiles

• Mid 12th Cen.
• National Museum of Korea

• This work shows the aesthetic sensitivity that puts abundant and sophisticated artistry into prosaic life by the use of celadon tiles for covering the roof of the house. It is fascinating in the harmonious joint of two tiles of male and female suggesting a harmony of Yin Yang as well as the exguisite patterns on the tiles.
