Pair of Framed Fine Korean Embroidered Pillow Ends
Pair of Framed and Mounted Fine, Old Korean Embroidered Pillow Ends with Happy Peacock Family in Brightly Colored Hills with Flowers. Peacocks symbolize the 9 Virtues: a tidy face, clear voice, careful walk, appropriate behavior according to place and time, moderation in eating and drinking, knowing how to be content, existing together, not being obscene, and always returning. Eternity and continuity is implied through the lovely multi-colored repeating 'ryul' characters that are embroidered all around the borders. A charming, auspicious, and finely embroidered pair of Korean Pillow Ends framed for display. Frame 17 x 12.5 inches, 43 x 32 cm; Pillow End: 5.5 x 4.25 inches, 14 x 11 cm.
