EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a delicate and intricate garment ornament from the Goryeo period, dating back to the 12th-13th century. The fragmented butterfly design is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of this era. The image captures a close-up view of the bronze brooch, revealing its stunning color and detail against a clean white background. The butterflies, meticulously crafted in metalwork, symbolize grace and beauty in Korean culture. Displayed at the Arthur M Sackler Gallery, part of the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art, this piece represents an important aspect of Korea's rich heritage art. It serves as both an educational tool for students and visitors alike to learn about traditional Korean costume and decorative arts. Although broken over time, these fragments still retain their charm and allure. They offer us a glimpse into the artistic techniques employed during the Goryeo dynasty. As we admire this remarkable object, we are reminded that even centuries later, it continues to inspire awe with its timeless elegance. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its enduring beauty as an example of exceptional jewelry and ornamentation from ancient Korea.
