The establishment of burial of Buddhism in Korea brought about a shift in funerary customs from coffin burial to cremation. Stoneware cinerary urns with stamp-impressed decoration applied prior to full hardening of the clay were made during the Unified Silla dynasty (668-935 CE). The pagoda-like finial on the lid of this jar reflects the influence of Buddhist art.
