Korean Traditional Patterns Vol.11 — Fish, Turtle & Zodiac — Animal Patterns III

Sixty-eight fish, turtle and zodiac motifs from the Culture Portal archive: carp pairs, leaping carp and goldfish, hexagon-shell turtles, five tigers and the other zodiac animals, nine dragons, haetae guardians and masks, butterflies, cicadas, bats and deer. In Korean ornament the carp stands for perseverance, the turtle for long life, the tiger and haetae for protection, the bat for good fortune and the butterfly for joy; this third animal volume adds nine tiles built from the roundels.
