Kumgan (traditional ewer)
Loading images...
Description
The kumgan is made of brass. Its central body is wide and spherical in shape. The lower part is fixed to a strong, stable base that widens downward.
The neck of the kumgan narrows and then expands again toward the top. The mouth is open, with slightly outward-curved edges. The lid of the object has not been preserved (or is missing in the image).
On one side of the body there is a long straight spout pointing upward. The end of the spout has a special rim to ensure even water flow and is connected to the upper edge of the kumgan by a small metal bridge (support), which prevents bending or breakage.
On the opposite side there is a flat brass handle, curved in an arch shape for convenient holding.
