E77085) and sujil or head ring (cat. no. E77088). Hough's interesting description of the item reads: "Wedge shaped; made somewhat like a grocer's paper bag of a single piece of coarse stuff." He adds that it is "worn on special mourning occasions." These are now missing from the collection. Bernadou Field Notes 152 "... Of hemp cloth."Collected in Seoul. Ref: Hough Korean Catalog pl.
