Korea. Shamanism. c 1950. The Household god props up a large fan decorated with 3 seated goddesses and lotus leaves with his left hand, and carries a string of bells with his right; his richly oramented red dress includes a chest panel with 2 cranes; he is accompanied by 2 musicians in coloured robes with traditional instruments. Korean folk paintings on strong paper expressing myths, legends and magic-religious imagery were used in Shamanism, the ethnic religion of Korea. The shamanic deities and their assistants are presented in formal Korean dress. As the worship of Shaman gods and their shrines has much diminished in Korea in the past half century owing to political instability, very few temples and their contents have survived. Shamanic paintings have become sought after and collectable as relics of another era. The hanging is generally well preserved, as also the colouring. Some neat repairs to folds, isolated soot and candle staining, small marginal tears. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers ABE-1500577569743
