This type of hat (<em>gat</em>) was once the most commonly worn men&rsquo;s headgear by Korean aristocratic government officials and commoners. In the mid-Joseon period, they had tall crowns and wide brims. When Heungseon Daewongun (興宣大院君, 1820&ndash;1898), the father of King Gojong (高宗, r. 1863&ndash; 1907) seized power in the late Joseon period, he made the wearing of shorter crowns with narrower brims mandatory. This hat is in good condition despite some losses at the crown. The straps are made of black silk gauze. <p>[Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art (2017) p. 282]</p>

An instrument consisting of a hollow sound box, a bamboo beck, two pegs in the upper neck wound with strings, two strings, and a bow. The sound box is made of sanyuja wood.<br /> <br /> This is a traditional Korean musical instrument with two strings. Sound is produced by the friction between strings made from several strands of thin silk thread and bowstrings made of horsehair. Its unique sound has earned the haegeum alternative, onomatopoeic names such as gaenggaengi and aenggeum. The instrument consists of a hollow sound box, a bamboo neck, two pegs in the upper neck each wound with a string, the strings themselves, and a separate bow. The pegs are currently detached from the neck. The sound box is made of sanyuja wood (Xylosma congestum). <p>[Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art (2017) p. 288]</p> <br /> &nbsp;
