1705년 금보개수도감에서 제작한 금보 보자기의 소재와 문양에 관한 고찰

Abstract

The royal seals kept in the National Palace Museum of Korea were transferred from sinsil(a spirit chamber) at Jongmyo Shrine. During the transfer, other relics were disturbed so that royal seals were not matched with encased ritual utensils in terms of their production times. This study comparatively analyzed the records having clear production dates with the patterns of related relics such as costume artifacts and cases for jade books against 10 royal seals and their golden royal seal-wrapping cloths newly designed by the Directorate for the Restoration of the Golden Royal Seals in the 31st year of the reign of King Sukjong. As a result, the royal seal-wrapping cloths were classified into 8 golden royal seal-wrapping cloths and 2 regular ones. In terms of the material, the golden royal seal-wrapping cloths were recorded as ‘dahol unmundaedan(a large piece with red cloud patterns)’ and ‘dahong-unbomundan(a piece with red cloud-treasure patterns)’. According to analysis of the cloud-treasure patterns. using the jeongha-unbomun pattern-reading method, there is a high possibility that the golden royal seal-wrapping cloths of King Mok jo, King Ikjo’s wife, King Hwanjo and his wife were made together with the golden royal seals in 1705. It was confirmed that the golden royal seal-wrapping cloth (1) of King Dojo was used in making royal seal-wrapping cloths during 1713-1721. It is very unlikely that the golden royal seal-wrapping cloths of King Mokjo’s wife and King Dojo (2) were not the golden royal seal-wrapping cloths used in 1705. In addition, it was confirmed that the pattern-less golden royal seal-wrapping cloth of King Ikjo is not the golden royal seal-wrapping cloth made in 1705.
