Also called unju (literally meaning “cloud beads” in Korean), these are harness fittings attached at the crossbelt to put a bit or saddle on a horse with leather belts. Each item has a post erected at the summit of its hexagonal pyramid with double sets of loops each to be hung with four or five decorative spangles.
