초록

조선의 어보는 국가 왕실을 상징하는 인장이다. 보수(寶綬)는 어보에 달린 붉은 끈으로, 어보의 품격을 높여주는 장식의 목적과 취급의 편리를 위해 제작되었다. 보수는 끈목과 방울술로 이루어졌다. 본 연구는 1441년부터 1928년까지 제작된 조선 왕실 및 대한제국 황실 어보의 보수 총 318점을 대상으로 형태 조사, 색상, 재질, 성분 분석 등을 실시하였다. 연구 결과 끈목은 시기가 후반으로 갈수록 길어지고 얇아지는 양상을 보인다. 방울술은 1800년대 중후반부터 방울목이 대부분 사라지고 술 끝에 고리가 나타난다. 보수의 색상은 대부분 다홍색이지만 주황색과 자주색도 확인된다. 보수의 재질은 대부분 실크로 확인되지만 1900년대 제작된 어보의 보수 5점과 1740년대에 제작된 어보의 보수 1점은 레이온으로 추정된다. 1740년대에 제작된 어보의 보수는 1900년대에 교체된 것으로 보인다. 방울술을 장식하는 금지의 주요 성분은 시대에 따라 달라진다. 1800년대 중반까지는 술과 방울에 금(Au)이 주요 성분인 금지를 사용하지만 1800년대 중반 이후부터 술에는 금(Au), 방울에는 황동(Cu-Zn)이 주요 성분인 금지를 사용하다가, 후반 이후 술과 방울에 황동이 주요 성분인 금지를 사용하였다. 보수는 어보의 한 부속품이지만 본 연구를 통하여 시대에 따른 제작 기법과 재질의 변화를 확인할 수 있었다.

The royal seal, in either gold or jade, is used to symbolize Joseon's royal family, and it is made up of a Bonu (a handle), Bosin (a body), Bomun (a letter inscribed on the seal), and Bosu (a string attached to the seal). The Bosu was designed to enhance the seal's dignity and facilitate convenient handling. Bosu consists of Kkeun-mog and Bangwool-sul (decorated with gilt paper), which are made of Bangwool, Bangwool-mog, and Sul. In this study, the form survey, color, material, and composition of 318 Bosu pieces from the Joseon Dynasty and Korean Empire produced from 1441 to 1928 were analyzed. As time passed, the strings on the seals became longer and thinner. Bangwool-mog disappeared from the mid-1800s, and a ring appeared at the end of the Sul. Most of the colors used were scarlet, but orange and purple were also identified. Although most of the Bosu are silk, five Bosu from the 1900s and one Bosu from the 1740s (likely replaced in the 1900s) are estimated to be rayon. The gilt paper's main chemical components used to decorate the Bangwool-sul vary according to age. Until the mid-1800s, gold (Au) was used for the Sul and Bangwool, but since the mid-1800s, gold (Au) and brass (Cu-Zn) were used for Sul and Bangwool, respectively, and then brass (Cu-Zn) was used for Sul and Bangwool. While the Bosu was a seal accessory, it can be used to identify changes in the manufacturing techniques and materials of the period.
