These are detailed views of the figures in the top frame of the Seven-Treasure Ceremony on the eastern wall of the main chamber in Tokhung-ri Tomb.
The figure in the image can be seen on the right side of the top frame sitting on a wooden platform. This figure is wearing an official hat that appears to be 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.). He is dressed in an orange robe with wide sleeves, similar to the prefects in the antechamber. Two valets wearing Geons (a type of ancient headwear that wraps around the entire head and tied in the back, similar to a bandanna) are standing behind the official.
According to the adjacent inscriptions, this figure sitting on the wooden platform is a director of the Seven-Treasure Ceremony. He administrates the various tasks required for the ceremony.
