Description
A special stamp on traditional Korean culture has been issued to demonstrate the wisdom and aesthetic sensitivity of our ancestors by showcasing utensils they used in their daily lives. Introduced in the fourth series is soban, a small portable wooden dining table. The soban featured in the stamps are preserved at Ewha Womans University Museum.

Punghyeol-ban - 19th century.
Punghyeol-ban is a multi-purpose tray-cum-table carried on the head which was used to deliver lunch to government offices, to an outdoor meal or just to dine. Also called Beonsang, this table has a hole to enable the carrier to see forward while carrying the food that can also serve as a grip. The hole is sculpted in beautiful lines in the shape of Punghyeol, which are holes in rocks discharging a cool breeze in hot summer months. This table combines functionality and ornate embellishment.
