Korean Bookmark
Era: 2000's
Details: replica royal hairpin
Today's collection piece was donated by my friend Ga Young who's from South Korea, hence the Korean text you find on the information card. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get a hold of her lately so I can't directly translate the words myself, so if you know Korean it would be appreciated if you could email the museum at [email protected] and we will add it as a correction later on. If you haven't noticed by now, this particular piece is a regular present-day bookmark but it's made in such a design to resemble a traditional Korean hairpin - known as a Dwikkoji.
