Description
This is an ornamental back drapery hung loose over courtiers’ robes referred to as jobok and jebok. The drapery was embroidered with designs, lower end of which was attached to blue knotted tassels. National Code describes that the embroidered designs and material of the rings varied by the rank of the wearer, but later, the design came to be standardized to use cranes.
