고구려 곡개의 원형탐색과 3D 디지털 복원

Abstract

Koguryo's mural tombs contain an object called a 'Gok-gae.' In this study, we discovered and reviewed Koguryo's 'Gok-gae' and restored the 'Gok-gae' of Anak Tomb No.3 using 3D digital data. Anak Tomb No.3 is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 'Gok-gae' was a prestigious item used to display one's status in public and was symbolically worn by nobles, including the imperial family of various Chinese dynasties. It later became an ornament in the royal courts of Koryo and Joseon. This study is an interdisciplinary collaboration. The research methodology involved collecting and reviewing literature and paintings from Chinese dynasties to extract their uses, meanings, and forms. Based on this, a comparative analysis of Koguryo's 'Gok-gae' and related pictorial materials was conducted. Through the literature, we examined the meaning, utility, and instances of vouchsafe of the 'Gok-gae.' With the pictorial data, we examined the size, shape, and color in detail. We discovered that the Koguryo 'Gok-gae' were not significantly different from the various ornamental objects used by Chinese dynasties. The digital prototype reconstruction of the 'Gok-gae' is expected to provide valuable clues for reconstructing the political, social, and cultural history of Northeast Asia, particularly regarding Koguryo ornaments.
