익산 미륵사지 석탑에서 출토된 은제관식은 639년의 사리봉안법회에 참석한 백제 고급 관료가 보시한 물품으로 추정된다. 이 관식의 경우 공반된 여러 물품과 함께 매납의 절대연대뿐만 아니라 맥락까지 알 수 있는 자료라는 점에 착목하였으며 이 자료를 기준으로 기왕에 출토된 은제관식 10점의 제작순서 및 연대를 결정하였다. 아울러 은제 관식은 백제의 나솔 이상 관인이 관모에 끼워 장식하였던 것이며 소유에 엄격한 제한이 있었던 물품이라는 점에 주목, 각 시기마다의 공간적인 분포양상을 살펴보았다. 그 결과 은제관식 출토 고분이 분포한 나주, 남원, 논산 가운데 남원과 논산지역의 경우 639년에서 멀지 않은 시점에 비로소 은제관식 소유자가 등장한 것으로 파악하였다.

The silver cap ornament was excavated from the stone pagoda at Mireuksaji(temple site) in Iksan City. It is presumed as goods of a high—rank Backjae government official who was presented at the society of the Budda’s bones Enshrinement in 639. This ornament was noticed as a material for not only to find the absolute age of the custody but also the line of connection. And, the order and age of the custody of silver cap ornament excavation is determined by the standard of this material. Following the above facts, the silver cap ornament was what a government official above the level of Nasol(奈率) in the kingdom of Backjae used to decorate with an official hat by putting it on. And, it is the goods that had the strict limitation of its possession. With those outstanding points, one can observed the aspects of spatial distribution by each period. As a result, it is expected that the owner of silver cap ornament was appeared by not far from the year of 639 in Namwon(남원) and the areas of Nonsan(논산) city. These are the cities among Naju(나주), Namwon, and Nonsan in which the silver cap ornament was excavated from the tomb.
