Korean Minhwa Jakhodo Tiger and Magpie Scroll Painting on Silk, 19th Century

About the Item

A wonderfully painted and detailed Korean folk art Minhwa Jakhodo (The letters “jak” means magpie; “ho” means tiger; and “do” means painting) Tiger and Magpie Scroll Painting. The piece is hand-painted on silk and mounted with a brocade border and depicts a playful magpie and a charming and somewhat comical yet mischievous spotted tiger with a wide, Cheshire cat-like grin on his face apparently a popular motif in Korea. In Korean culture, the tiger symbolizes a spirited power that has the ability to ward off evils while magpies are seen as the harbingers of good news. Traditionally, Minhwa/ Jakhodo paintings are hung on the front door or displayed on a prominent interior house wall during the first month of the lunar calendar. It is believed that the paintings can not only ward off evil spirits or threats to the family but also help ensure a safe and prosperous year ahead thus providing protection and good news. This work is likely from the late 19th century toward the end of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1897) or early 20th century. Hanging display dimensions: 84" high, 33.5" wide Rolled dimensions: 2.75" high, 33.5" wide, 3" deep.
