This print showcases a beautifully crafted cap for an acupuncture needle case, dating back to the Goryeo period in the 12th-13th century. The intricate design and exquisite details of this decorative art piece are truly mesmerizing. The golden gilding on the silver surface creates a stunning contrast, giving it a regal appearance. The floral motif adorning the cap adds an element of elegance and grace, reflecting the artistic sensibilities of the time. Displayed against a clean white background, every minute detail is highlighted in this close-up shot. It allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such a delicate object. As we delve into its historical significance, we are transported back to ancient Korea during the Goryeo dynasty.
