From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Treasure (Korean: 보물) is a national-level designation in the heritage preservation system of South Korea for tangible assets with historic, artistic, or academic value.

Originally, each item with the designation was given a number; these numbers were given sequentially and do not indicate the relative importance of the item.[1] The number system was removed on November 19, 2021.[3] A diverse variety of assets have received the designation, including buildings, books, documents, paintings, sculptures, and crafts.[1]
