Description

|
|
|
Featuring 33 objects in large color plates and detailed descriptions—from jeweled hairpins and a tasseled silk pouch of the 19th century to a 5th-century Buddha in gilded bronze—and additionally illustrated with another 31 color figures and maps, this catalog presents national treasures from South Korea, part of the rare material inheritance of a land with a 5,000-year-old culture that has been looted by conquering armies for much of its history.
