Although now detached, this panel would have originally formed part of the sumptuously embroidered over-robe worn by a bride in the final act of marriage: her entry into her husband’s family home and formal introduction to her new relatives.\r\n\r\nSuch panels were embroidered by the bride and her female relatives in the months before this important ritual took place. They were decorated with auspicious motifs, as in this example, with its design of cranes, small birds, butterflies, lotuses, peonies and a potted peach tree, signifying, among other things, wishes for longevity and marital bliss for the newly married couple.","physicalDescription":"Symmetrical design of two cranes amongst rocks, waves and lotus flowers, with peony flowers, three butterflies, a flowering peach tree and two birds with outstretched wings on red background framed with blue.  The embroidered inscription on the top left reads \"May the union of the two families be the source of ten thousand blessings\".\n\nColour: Multi-coloured","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"silk (textile)","id":"AAT243428"},{"text":"gold paper","id":"x39357"}],"techniques":[{"text":"hand embroidery","id":"x30339"},{"text":"couching","id":"AAT53654"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Coloured silks and gold paper thread on silk","categories":[{"text":"Textiles","id":"THES48885"},{"text":"Embroidery","id":"THES48960"},{"text":"Womenswear","id":"THES49044"}],"styles":[{"text":"Chosŏn","id":"AAT106675"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"EAS","id":"THES48596"},"images":["2006AT8890","2006BE3620","2020MU3764","2020MU3770","2022NE8517"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"47G","id":"THES49792"},"free":"","case":"CA5","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Panel","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Korea","id":"x30965"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1850-1900","earliest":"1850-01-01","latest":"1900-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Purchased from Rev.
