The Three Heavenly Seals, also known as Ch'ŏnbuin (Korean: 천부인; Hanja: 天符印), as recounted in the Samguk yusa (13th c.), were tokens of authority bestowed from the god Hwanin to his son Hwanung for his descent from the heavens. Though the relics are often associated with Bronze Age of Korea due to their material and production methods, their significance and meaning lie more on Korean shamanism and native beliefs.
