Goryeo art is distinguished by its cultural diversity and innovative techniques, leading to the creation of a unique Korean Buddhist art. The period saw a proliferation of Buddhist temples and various metalworks to support complex rituals. Goryeo crafts, especially metalworks, featured najeon (mother-of-pearl inlay) and silver inlay techniques. Notably, Xu Jing's 1123 account, Gaoli tujing, praised Goryeo metalwork. The dynasty also developed distinctive Buddhist rituals and sculptures. Goryeo Buddhist art, including textiles, evolved to embrace native styles and aesthetics, contributing to the rich, aristocratic, yet humble allure of Goryeo art that resonated with the public's aspirations.
