Maedeup, Korean knot 매듭
Maedeup is the Korean traditional decorative knot. With origins deeply rooted in ancient Korean traditions, it holds a timeless allure, blending artistic finesse with symbolic significance. In a display of meticulously crafted maedeup pieces, this exhibition celebrates the artistry, skill, and cultural significance of knot-making in Korean history. From the delicate beauty of traditional hanbok accessories to adornments for ceremonial purposes, each knot tells a story passed down through generations.
The National Folk Museum of Korea’s beautiful Maedeup collection is presented to Australian audiences for the first time.
