Jeogori, Madam Kim's Jacket

An outer jacket worn over a short Jeogori, thus long enough to cover the hip area. It is made of lotus and auspicious patterned silk, and padded with batting. The collar is straight wood block-shaped. This is excavated from the madame Kim's tomb (died at 38). Her husband was Song, Sehun, from the family of Eunjin. He was the minister of Anak region, under the reign of King MyungJong--the 13th King of Joseon dynasty.
