Valet in the Salutation of the Prefects on the western wall of the antechamber.
This is a detailed view of Jin’s valet in the Salutation of the Prefects on the western wall of the antechamber in Tokhung-ri Tomb. This scene depicts a valet informing the Provincial Governor Jin of the prefects' intent to pay homage. The valet is seen kneeling with his hands together, and his entire demeanor feels very respectful and courteous. He is wearing a civil servant Chaek (Headwear worn by civil servants and military attachés. Civil servants wore Chaeks with tops that were split in the back and curving forward. Military attachés wore Chaeks with cone-shaped points.), and the white sash from his waist is hanging down between his legs. Unlike the 13-county prefects, the valet is depicted with a black ink outline, conveying a sense of completion. The kneeling pose and leaning upper body perfectly convey the valet's function.
