Rare and Finely Embroidered Apron from North Korea. You can see the Red Star of North Korea as the centerpiece of this stunning embroidered apron. The style of embroidery in North Korea is quite different from the south. Look especially at the way the fish and birds are rendered on the apron here, a masterpiece of Korean folk embroidery. Even the species of bird (in the center of the apron) looks different from anything in South Korea. The apron has seven pockets and is 20w x 18h inches, 51w x 46h cm.

Jade Green Silk Korean Woman's Jacket (Jeogori). In Korea, the beauty of a woman's jacket was judged by the curvature of the sleeves and the color. By both criteria, this is a most beautiful Jeogori. It is padded for warmth (Somjeogori). Prominent design and function roles were played by the bow ties (Goerum), and this reddish purple Goerum succeeds in both roles, matching the lapel and cuffs. And the cuffs have a further touch of quality: a blue floral lining. Jackets with contrasting colored cuffs and ribbons are called Banhoejang-joegori, as opposed to plain single color Minjoegori. The color of this gorgeous jacket evokes the jade green of Koryo celadon. 50.5 x 14 inches, 128 x 36 cm.
