Abstract

The Geumryeong-tomp is a tomb in the Silla period, located at the northern end of Gyeongju. It was first excavated in 1924 and again in 2018. Now in 2022, a special exhibition of past archaeological achievements and research is being held. In this tomb, which was named as a ‘Geumryeong-tomb’ in commemoration of the excavation of golden bell, precious Silla precious metal ornaments such as golden crown and golden belt were also excavated. The Geumryeong-tomb was recognized as the tomb of Prince Shilla. It was because the golden crown and the golden belt were all small items suitable for young people of small size.
 In this article, I have illuminated the objects and the people who handled them with the material of the Geumryeong-tomb. With the results of the research accumulated until recently, I looked at the Geumryeong-tomb ornaments. Explain the speciality and production technique of the Geumryeong-tomb.
 Because ornaments are artifacts, people are involved in some way. In this article, I explored the three subjects involved in the use of ornaments: the dead, the funeral, and the craftsmen.
 Find out why the Geumryeong-tomb’s dead man is an infant. I looked at the funeral director who is the actual leader of this funeral. The funeral ornaments prepared by the funeral organizer were derived and explained his presence. Finally, I looked at the craftsmen who made the funeral items. The main characters on the stage of death and funeral are the dead, the funeral, and the craftsmen. And they are intertwined with relics.
 The purpose of this study is to explore their correlation and Silla society with the theme of Geumryeong-tomb ornaments. This study explains the archaeological existence of Geumryeong-tomb’s dead man, funeral director, and craftsmen with clues to ornaments.
