Liaoning type bronze dagger & etc
Jeokryang-dong of Yeosu & etc |
|
Bronze arrowheads, spearheads and daggers excavated from Jeollanam-do
areas. A characteristic of Korean bronze daggers is that blades and
shafts were made separately and combined later. It was also called
mandolin-shaped bronze dagger because the blade looks like a mandolin,
a Chinese musical instrument.
It is estimated that shafts were made of wood because few shafts made
of bronze have been found. The decoration on the end of shafts for
the center of gravity is made of light bronze.
Liaoning type bronze daggers are mainly found in stone cists, dolmens
and stone mounds on hills. The bronze daggers were used from the 8th
B.C to the 5th B.C. stone knives, stone arrow-heads, burnished red
potteries, violin-shaped spears and fan-shaped axes were also found
in the same places and we may call the culture “Culture of Liaoning
type bronze dagger” |
