King Heonjong’s Letter Appointing Lady Kim as Consort Gyeongbin

This is king’s order installing a daughter of Kin Jae-cheong as a queen of Heongjong in 1847 (year 13 of Heonjong). Specific details and depictions about this order are described in a book 『Gyeongbin garyesi garyecheong deungrok』. This order was copied in a colorful silk of red, yellow, blue, white and black, in a scroll of jade axis. At the beginning of the order is weaved a rising dragon and in between is the word ‘Gyomyeong (King’s order)’ in yellow silk thread. This is a very valuable material in studying installation of late Joseon period and its document system.
