Looking at the actual appearance of the woman’Garima’ who was released with Joseon Mira

The costumes excavated from Osan Guseong-i and Yeohung-i’s tombs (total 96 cases, 124 points), which can grasp women’s costume culture and commerce and funeral customs in the middle of the Joseon Dynasty, are designated as a national folk cultural property.

On the 23rd, the Cultural Heritage Administration announced the designation of the costumes excavated to the graves of Guseong-i and Yeohung-i in Osan, where women’s costume culture and ceremonial and funeral customs were found in the middle of the Joseon Dynasty as a national folk cultural property.

The tombs of Koseong-i and Yeo-heung-i were discovered at the construction site of the Gaesan Industrial Complex in Osan, Gyeonggi-do in May 2010. At that time, 3 Hoegyeok tombs (tombs filled with lime around the pavilion) were identified side by side during the Joseon Dynasty, of which two female mummies and many relics were excavated from the 2nd tomb. The remaining one was assumed to be the tombs of the two women, but the degree of damage was severe, so the owner could not be identified.

According to the Myungjeong (銘旌) excavated from two tombs, the protagonists of the tomb are assumed to be the first wife (Mr. Seong-i) and the second (Mr. Yeo Heung-i) of a male grandfather in the Joseon Dynasty. It seems that there were 9 and 6 items respectively.

Although the tombs of Koseong-i and Yeo-heung-i have a limitation in that they are unrelated, they are valuable in that the relics are systematically collected and preserved by experts such as excavation institutions, costume majors, and pathology researchers.

The excavation costumes for Guseongi and Yeoheungi in Osan, confirmed through the survey, included a large number of relics of 96 cases, 124 points (41 cases for Guseongi, 51 points for Yeoheungyi, 55 cases, 73 points).

This is highly rarity in that it shows the various costumes of yangban clan women in the mid- to late 16th century before the Imjin War (1592), and it is evaluated as an important material to glimpse the traditional funeral methods such as the process of dying of women in the Joseon Dynasty.

In particular, the’garima’, which was excavated as worn on the head of the body, can actually confirm how to wear a female headgear (hat), which was only conveyed in the record, and the’danryeong-type (團領形) with a round neckline like a men’s official uniform. )Wonsam` allows you to study the early appearance of Wonsam, and the `front-back long-sleeved skirt`, which folded the front part of the skirt and made the front short and the back long, is a costume that can only be confirmed during the pre-Imjin invasion period. It has been recognized academically for its outstanding value in terms of its high scarcity.

The Cultural Heritage Administration plans to collect and review the opinions of various fields during the 30-day notice period for the excavation of the graves of Guseong-i and Yeohung-i in Osan, which was announced this time, and designate it as a national folk cultural property after deliberation by the Cultural Properties Committee.
