한국식 동검
제주시 구좌읍 종달리에서 발견된 청동검으로 검의 날 부분이 곧은 ‘한국식동검’입니다. 한국식 동검은 몸체의 폭이 좁고 끝이 뾰쪽하여 가늘고 긴 형태로 양날이 곧습니다. 또한 검의 모체와 손잡이를 따로 만드는 것도 특징입니다. 청동기가 생산되지 않는 제주에서 이 동검은 아무나 가질 수 없는 귀한 물건이었습니다. 기원전 4세기 무렵, 제주 지역에서 큰 권력을 지녔던 사람이 소유했던 검으로 보입니다.

Korean-type Bronze Dagger
This bronze dagger with a slender blade is a “Korean-type bronze dagger” that was discovered at the site of Jongdal-ri, in Gujwa-eup, Jeju City. Such “Korean-type bronze daggers” are characterized by their long and slender blades with straight edges and long pointed tips. A distinctive characteristic of the Korean-type bronze dagger is the way in which the blade and hilt were first cast separately and then later assembled. Bronze was not produced locally on Jeju Island and so such a bronze dagger would have been a highly valuable item owned by only a few members of society. This particular bronze dagger was buried with an individual of great power who resided on Jeju Island around the 4th century BCE.

韓国式銅剣
済州市の旧左邑終達里から発見された青銅剣で、剣の刀身が真っ直ぐな「韓国式銅剣」です。韓国式銅剣は、胴部の幅が狭く、先端が鋭利な細長い形で、両側の刀が真っ直ぐな形状となっています。また、剣の胴部と把手が別々に作られているのも特徴です。青銅器が生産されることのなかった済州島において、この銅剣は、一部の者しか持つことのできない貴重な物でした。紀元前4世紀頃、済州島で大きな権力を握っていた人物が所有していたものと考えられます。
