Yesterday I stayed most of the day at the National Museum of Korea. I was so eager to capture all the ancient jewelry on camera! It was such a rewarding visit! Here are some impressions:
Outside the museum
Gold earrings, 5th-6th century

Worn around the neck. A chest ornament covers the entire chest. Strands of sparkling gold beads contrast beautifully with thousands of dark blue glass beads threaded together in 6-7 rows.
Celadon box for cosmetics. 13th century
Hope all have a lovely Thursday!

wow!
Beautiful, I don't think we fully appreciate Asian fashion history, I really love how they kept the shape of the jewellery even though it was all broken :P
you are now in Seoul? I was there a couple of weeks ago, great city but freezing cold! Enjoy your stay there!
Those earrings are gorgeous. It is amazing how something so old can look so modern.
Great pictures!
I like your blog :)
