Wood, covered with reverse-painted horn, with metal fittings. The cover of this box can be folded back to support a rectangular mirror which is hidden inside. Beneath it are two tiers of drawers for cosmetics. The box is made of pinewood and covered with plaques of painted ox horn, a technique called hwagak. This involved cutting, flattening and polishing pieces of horn into thin translucent squares, which were then painted on the reverse and attached to the box. The nine plaques of the top are decorated with Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, a goat, an elephant, tigers and tortoises, the twelve plaques on each side and the nine on the back with similar animals as well as deer, peonies and camellias, and the six plaques of the front with further Buddhas, peonies, a tortoise and a horse; they are painted in light green, yellow, and bright red on a red background. The lock, handles, hinges and corner fittings are made of 'white bronze' (paektong).O.12-19841accession numberO.12-198416615priref16615urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/16615https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/16615referenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumGompertz Giftreferenceagent-166468adlib-agent-1664680ce28dcf-ae91-3764-b1e9-3b74a113e674Gompertz, G.
