This is a detailed view of the lotus pattern on the parallel supporting stone at the peak of the ceiling of the antechamber (western wall) in Tokhung-ri Tomb. The lotus is a symbol of purification and rebirth in Buddhism. The lotus pattern in the image lines the side of the parallel supporting stone in a simple configuration, similar to a Buddhist lotus pedestal. The depiction of lotus on the ceiling of the tomb indicates that Provincial Governor Jin had a Buddhist view of the spiritual world.
