Bitsalmunui Togi: the oldest pottery (bitsalmunui togi) is a simple “V”-shaped vessel, with a wide mouth and narrow base, and the entire surface is decorated with engraved lines and dots forming geometric patterns. Both the form and the decorative motifs that characterize this type of pottery are unique to Korea. Hence, Korean Neolithic culture is often referred to as the “Comb-pattern Pottery Culture”
