Lovely Framed Bojagi Korean Wrapping Cloth. Since they are made from scraps of cloth, no two bojagi are alike.

This bojagi is not in very good condition, but we acquired it anyway because of its stunning embroidery of a very intricate and creative tree of life with birds and flowers. The condition of the embroidery is fine. The tree of life motif is rooted in ancient Korean shamanism, and appears on top of the famous 5th Century gold crowns of Silla. This beautiful bojagi will be a nice addition to any textiles or embroidery collection. 18 x 18 inches, 45.5 x 45.5 cm.

Bojagi with a Bountiful Bouquet of Beautiful Flowers Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Korean: Textiles: Pre 1910 item# 999003 (stock# 0495)

A silk bojagi wrapping cloth with embroidered butterflies (symbol of marital bliss) and an abundant variety of beautifully embroidered Korean flora: peonies, chrysanthemums, lilies, carnations, and irises on a beautiful purple silk ground with woven flowers. Purple was a royal color and its use was restricted to aristocracy. The loop, which normally appears on the on the front, is on the back of this bojagi. So this bojagi was likely used for both the wrapping and the presentation of its contents. For example, silverware could be wrapped with the silverware on top of the bojagi's face so that the back of the cloth formed the exterior of the wrap, and the loop handle would have facilitated carrying it this way. More importantly, when you opened this seemingly plain white cloth, it would open to reveal its precious contents on top of this beautiful bojagi. This bojagi was chosen for this special function because of its superior beauty. 21 x 21 inches, 53.5 x 53.5 cm.
