[작은 세계] 자개함 속 궁중 잔치

A miniature Joseon-era royal banquet built inside an open Korean mother-of-pearl lacquer jewellery box, photographed in macro on a silk cloth. The black lacquered lid stands open behind, its iridescent najeon inlay of cranes and clouds shimmering like a night sky over the scene. Inside, each red-lined compartment of the box is one part of the palace courtyard: a raised wooden pavilion floor with a small throne under a canopy, rows of court musicians with traditional Korean instruments, dancers in Korean court hanbok with long colourful sleeves mid-turn, and low tables of food. Tiny warm lanterns glow. The box stays completely real: worn lacquer, brass hinges, a small brass lock plate. Tilt-shift miniature effect. No text, no letters.
