Product details
A hyungbae is the embroidered rank badge worn on the robes of Joseon officials: senior officials wore a pair of cranes or tigers, junior officials a single one. The embroidery sits on a pale grey-ivory ground with an antique feel, and both ground and threads are calm, low-saturation colors. Walnut solid-wood frame with glass at the front. A fine gift wishing success to someone facing an important exam. Frame 38 x 40 cm, embroidery 22 x 24 cm.
