Once used to contain colored powder, rouge, and eyebrow gel for makeup, this small container was one of the standard goods that furnished elites' tombs. Both women and men used the grain powder of rice or millet for whitening their skin, safflower extract for rouge, and plant ash or soot for eyebrow gel. Yet, natural-looking makeup seems to have been the most favorable one in Korea according to the travelogue by Xu Jing (1091–1153), the Chinese diplomat who visited Korea in 1123. wall description: --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1928.169.b/1928.169.b_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1928.169.b/1928.169.b_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1928.169.b/1928.169.b_full.tif
