Bandaji were used by most Korean families to store clothing or bedding. This piece was created in northern Korea where the available wood had simple grains. Craftsmen relied on metal hinges, fasteners, and metal strips to decorate the chest. The many images inscribed on the metalwork are symbols of long life. They include flowers, pine trees, and rocks. The bat handle and inscribed images of the imaginary phoenix bird on the plates behind the handles and on the hinges are symbols of happiness. Although the locks on Korean chests are often and not original, this one looks as if it had been made for this particular chest.
Though this chest was made in the north, this type is also common today in the south of Korea, because the Korean War (1950-1953) resulted in a large migration of people from the north to the south, and many people took along their family heirlooms, such as these chests.

artist: unknown (Korean)
title: no title (Stacked chest)
date: 1800s
medium: wood, yellow brass fittings, lacquer finish

This type of chest might have been used by an upper-class family for long-term storage of such items as seasonal clothing. Its red lacquer finish makes it an unusual piece among Korean chests, which usually rely on uncovered wood grain for decorative effect. Red lacquer is a mixture of cinnabar (mercuric sulfide-a red mineral called “dragon's blood” in China) and iron oxide pigments. This piece was most likely created for use in a woman's room. Women's pieces tended to be more decorative in color and metalwork. The hinges and lock fittings are in the shape of butterflies-for happiness. The plates behind the front handles are bats, also for happiness.
