content: "Late 19th century. Wood. This pair of hardwood sticks has rounded middle sections and squared front and back ends. The diameter of the back end of the stick is smaller in size, functioning as a handle. Hough closely follows Bernadou's description and use of the specimen. However, he adds that the winter garments are ripped apart before washing and the "parts are sewed together and the seams ironed down with the seam iron." His additional information regarding winter garments is presumably from one of his Korean consultants. The caption for plate number XVII, illustrating the seam iron and fulling sticks, reads: "Korean Domestic Appliances."...Collected in Seoul. Ref: Hough Korean Catalog pl. XVII, fig. 2; Bernadou Field Notes 96" [from: "An Ethnography of the Hermit Kingdom: The J.B. Bernadou Korean Collection 1884-1885", Chang-su Cho Houchins, 2004, number 107]
