This paper introduces a conservation treatment for silver diadem ornaments with flower design and the types of corrosive chemical compounds. Twelve silver diadem ornaments with flower design from the Baekje period excavated thus far have been classified into four types. This classification is made more specific in this paper. Each of the silver diadem ornaments was compared with one another. The comparison showed that the same production technique had been used for all of them, but they differed in size and thickness. This suggests that only a few pieces were produced whenever needed, rather than many pieces being produced at the same time.

This study concerns the flower-shaped silver crown ornament and inverted triangle-shaped crown ornament of Baekje, which were worn frequently during the Sabi period. The purpose of this study is to present a new estimated shape of the crown and ornaments. Individual excavation cases and archaeological data were analyzed. The flower-shaped silver crown ornament appears as a thin silver plate with buds on the center and side branches and is symmetrically bent from the center to form a ∧ shape. The inverted triangle-shaped crown ornament resembles two right-angle triangles that are back-to-back. The crown to which the two ornaments were added appears to be a triangular crown that was made by covering birch bark of with fabric. Both ornaments were believed to have been located on the front of crown, but that is incorrect. The flower-shaped silver crown ornament was inserted on the front of the crown, and the inverted triangle-shaped crown ornament was fixed with a tip at the top of the crown and then obliquely on the crown's side. The inferred design was confirmed with real reproductions. This study is significant in that it identifies the crown of Baekje during the Sabi period.
