Ritual costumes were worn at the Royal Ancestral Shrine while performing ancestral services. The basic construction of a ritual costume is similar to that of a ceremonial robe, however, a ritual costume includes an ornamental collar made from white raw-silk, and a black silk robe, which is worn over a white inner silk robe. This costume, which was worn by Lord Heungwan, is dark purple on the outside and white in the inside.
