Ramie kussensloop met uit zijde samengestelde uiteinden. Aan elk van de zijden is een geborduurd medaillon met een voorstelling van twee kraanvogels in vlucht met een drietal Chinese schatten. Rond deze voorstelling is een border met meanderpatronen in tien kleuren geborduurd. Rond de medaillons is een band van in rozetvorm geplooide zijde aangebracht.<BR> <BR> A pillow embroidered with a pair of love-birds on the pillow cover. <BR> Supporting fabric around the embroidered pillow boards was made of silk.<BR> <BR> The pattern of a pair of cranes, facing each other, symbolised that a married couple would live with love for each other without any trouble.<BR> Koreans believed that dreams come from the pillow. And to bring that dream alive women devoted their lives to embroidering beautiful things at the circular ends of their cylindrical pillows. <BR> Because the pillow is for resting one's head in sleep, it is not all that big in proportion to the human body. The design of the pillow end was fit into a pretty small space. Also, because the pillow end stays in the bedroom it is rather reclusive. Despite it is not like silk clothing or other formal attire for going out and meeting others, it contains highly skilled embroideried symbols promising many sons, many children, abundance and representations of Taoist immortals, in the bamboo and the roe, and in those Ten Immortals: sun, moon and cloud, mountain, brook and lake, deer, crane and turtle, pine and herb of perennial youth.
