Soo-jeogori, Embroidery Jacket

This is the only embroidered Hoejang-Jeogori among the 38 pieces of clothes excavated from the tomb of Lady Yoon. This double-layered jacket is made of satin damask with a lattice work and small flower pattern, and richly embroidered with spring and treasure motives on the cuffs and armpit patches, in the same style as other Hoejang-Jeogori. The square-curved up collar and the neck-band is a typical Mokpandanko-git of the 17th century. The stains on the neck-band tells us that it has been worn.
