Mid Century Korean Silla Style Stoneware Warrior

A stoneware warrior shaped in the style of early Korean figures, with those broad, simple forms that echo Silla-era guardians. The detailing is pared back rather than ornate, but you still feel the purpose in the stance and the weight of the armour — a practical, almost architectural interpretation of an older motif.
 
Pieces like this often draw from early incense burners, where guardian figures stood watch over lidded vessels, and this one carries that same energy even though it stands on its own.
 
We chose it for that blend of history and presence: it reads as both sculpture and object, something with roots in an older tradition but a look that works naturally in a contemporary space.
