Whole engraving is used for making a variety of items, such as the horse currycomb, chest, tiger-legged table, bed, and a cast of traditional cookie, as well as an arrow, pieces of a chess game, toys, and religious items and idols. Animals such as lion, tiger, dragon, and elephant, all of which symbolize strength and power, are engraved on the wooden doors of gers, while religious symbols and ornaments are engraved on the doors of temples and monasteries. Carving a pair of intertwined dragons on top of poles in gers and temples is common.

Chaesangjang (Bamboo Case Weaving)
National Intangible Cultural Heritage, Republic of Korea Chaesangjang refers to the skill of making a basket of diverse geometric patterns with thinly cut and colored bamboo skins, or to an artisan with such a skill. Colored bamboo baskets were loved by women at the Royal Court and of the noble class since the ancient period. Toward the late Joseon Period (1392 – 1910), they became popular items even for commoners as necessary articles for marriage. They were chiefly used to contain clothes, accessories, sewing supplies, and precious items. The first thing to do in making a bamboo basket is to peel off the bamboo skin in even thickness. The skin thus peeled is soaked in water and then trimmed, dyed, and spliced. The edges and corners are wrapped with blue or black satin silk. The designs made on the surface of a bamboo basket are mostly letters or patterns associated with propitiousness.
