Description
This hat was displayed in an exhibition of antique Korean hats at the Korea Society, and was featured in the New York Times Style section. Fashion designers, such as Carolina Herrera, recognize the beauty and uniqueness of traditional Korean hats and have been using them as part of their ensembles. In the 19th Century, the Japanese called Korea 'The Land of Hats' because the Koreans had a hat for every occasion and every position in society. This rare Mubyeon hat was worn by a court musician who was assigned to the military band of the Joseon Dynasty royal court. It is constructed of many layers of glued paper, and covered with silk cloth. This antique hat is being offered here at a price that is lower than what it would cost to have it made by an artisan in Korea today. 7d x 6w x 5.25h inches, 18d x 15w x 13.5h cm.
