Note: Mounted as a hanging scroll, this an original rare ink on paper rubbing of Korea’s artwork designated National Treasures dating from the Three Kingdoms Period (57 BC - 668 AD).

The famous Brick Tile (with the Daoist Peach Blossom Paradise Landscape Design) dates from the Baekje Kingdom (18 BC - 660 AD). The famous Silla Roof Tile (with the Phoenix design) dates from the Silla and Baekje Kingdoms. Both were excavated beginning 1937.
Provenance: Formerly in the Private Collection of Dr. Leon Sinder (acquired in Korea early 1960s); Private Collection, Florida
