EXPLANATION OF PLATE XI. 



Korean Lady. 



The costume is that of a married woman, and consists of a blue silk skirt 

 and jacket. The cap is ornamented with a i»erforated jade-disk overlaid 

 with a network of gold rings, and having a tassel of silk. The necklace 

 is made of beads molded of sweet-smelling spices and gums, somewhat 

 after the style of the rose-leaf beads worn by Turkish ladies. The gloves 

 are a recent addition to the native Korean dress.
