Pair of matching dragon face end boards or kkokdu (꼭두). Semi-circular wood panels, each with one side carved and painted. The central design is a yellow cat-like dragon with a black nose and eyebrows, blue and red almond-shaped eyes, long blue whiskers, and an open mouth with a small blue fish in its teeth. Below the dragon's head are two black paws with three clawed digits, and above is a tricolour Taegeuk symbol. The outer arch is painted with a thick red border.
These contemporary kkokdu are based on old designs. The artists used old wood and stain/dust known as "Tae" to make them look older. The colouring is called "dancheong", and the natural pigment used was extracted from powdered stone and shell.
