| This Old Korean Tiger Hunting Screen would have been displayed in a military officers' conference room or an officer's home. In spite of the Mongols' brutal occupation of Korea in the 13th Century, Koreans maintained great admiration for Mongolian hunting and equestrian skills, as shown by this Korean screen of Mongolians hunting deer, boar, and tiger (Koreans painted tigers with stripes and with spots). This screen is special because the landscape, unlike other Korean hunting screens, is not the barren plain, sandy-hilled landscape of Mongolia. It is actually a specific and beautifully rendered mountain range in Seoul, Korea: In Wang San. We are limited to 6 photos on this site, so if you'd like to see a photo of the dated inscription on the back, please email us. Display options with this screen are very flexible. It is mounted so that it may be hung from the wall, or sit on the floor, or sit on a table top. 56 x 34.5 inches, 142 x 88 cm. | ||
