From the Cleveland Museum of Art record
After the introduction of Buddhism, cremation became a common practice in Korea. This jar, which once contained the remains of the dead, may have nested in a larger stone container. The repetitive patterns that appear on the lid and the container was done with a stamping technique. Containing the remains of the dead, this type of ancient clay pottery was excavated from tombs.
