The
pottery of Daegaya was found in Goryeong, Hapcheon, Geochang,
Hamyang, Namwon, Jangsu, Gure, Imsil and Jinan. The scope
of distribution of pottery, on the whole, represents the scope
of the Daegaya force.
The pottery of Daegaya is different from that of Silla
in terms of its form, pattern and color. The most typical
pottery of Daegaya was discovered in the Jisan-dong Mounded
Tomb Group and its kind is also diverse.
This includes: cylinder-shaped pottery stands, bowl-shaped
pottery stands, loop-shaped pottery stands, long-necked
jars, short-necked jars, flat pottery, small pottery with
handle and leg, bowls with ear and leg, cups with ox horn-shaped
handle and gourd-shaped pottery.
The potteries called the Goryeong style or the Daegaya
style have several distinct characteristics. Their characteristics
are as follows: dense wave line pattern, nipple-shaped or
button-shaped handle with cover, windowed hill of mounted
cup, pottery style with soft beauty of curved lines and
plumpy sense of stability, and cylinder-shaped pottery stand
for funeral ceremony.
The distribution area of the Goryeong style pottery was
confined within the Goryeong basin until the fourth century.
In the early fifth century, the distribution area was enlarged
into the whole Daegaya area, including Hapcheon, Geochang,
Hamyang, Namwon and Jangsu.
In the early sixth century, it was expanded into other
Gaya regions, such as Goseong, Haman, Gimhae and Changwon.
The expansion of the distribution area shows both the development
process of Daegaya and growing influence it has.
