Korea: A Bridegroom of the High Class

Object/Artifact

-

St. Joseph Museums

The image features a traditional doll adorned in a bright pink silk garment with wide sleeves, cinched at the waist with a black belt embellished with two small buttons. The doll stands on a rectangular base and seems to have an expressive, painted face with prominent eyebrows and a subtle smile. It wears a distinctive black hat, adding an element of formality, while beneath the pink robe, a layer of cream fabric and two-tone black-and-white shoes are visible. The overall appearance reflects cultural or historical influences, and the craftsmanship highlights attention to detail, especially in the choice of fabric and color contrast.
