The classic pairing of magpie and tiger (kkachi-horangi) delivered a New Year's wish for good news and protection. Each piece is carved and hand-painted, so brushwork and grain vary slightly from one to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: hand-carved wood with hand-painted folk-art finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotif: folk-painting tiger (minhwa horangi)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeaning: protection, warding off misfortune, good fortune\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: handmade in Korea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: dust with a soft dry cloth; avoid moisture and prolonged direct sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGifting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA meaningful housewarming or new-business gift carrying a wish for protection and luck, and a distinctive piece of Korean culture for friends and clients abroad.
