Hand-inlaid iridescent shell is set into deep Korean lacquer, so the design shifts in color as the light moves. A folding screen brings a focal point of artistry to a living room, entryway, or study, and can be partly folded to stand freely on a console or floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHeritage \u0026amp; Craft\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSipjangsaeng gathers the ten traditional Korean symbols of long life—sun, mountain, water, rock, cloud, pine, the bullocho fungus of immortality, turtle, deer, and crane—into a single auspicious composition. Long favored by the royal court for blessings of health and longevity, the motif is painstakingly rendered here in cut mother-of-pearl, each element shimmering against the black lacquer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eArtist\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis piece is attributed to Jang Tae-bok, a Korean najeon-chilgi artisan.
