Horizontal dragon board or kkokdu (꼭두) composed of three pieces of wood. The design is of two intertwined dragons, one green and one yellow, facing opposite directions, with their serpent-like bodies wrapped around one another. Each dragon is painted to have scales down its body, a black ridge down its back, and dots on its face. Each dragon holds a red ball in its mouth. There is a small square notch cutout beneath each dragon's head to mount to semicircular face boards. A single hole is drilled down the centre of the piece to mount a wooden figure or Kkokdu.

• Specific Techniques

  This contemporary kkokdu is 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.
