A large metal bar lock, similar to a u-bar lock fitted with a long key, meant to use as a lock for a chest.<br /> <br /> The shape and structure of this lock conform to those of the conventional &ldquo;ㄷ&rdquo;-shaped type of lock. However, its round body resembles the shape of a pipe when viewed from the side. This type of lock was most frequently used for locking small chests and boxes. It was made by forging and soldering iron. The tip of the key resembles the letter &ldquo;T&rdquo; in shape, standing at an angle perpendicular to the handle. <p>[Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art (2017), 245]</p>
