Seven-Treasure Ceremony on the eastern wall of the main chamber.
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.
Of the three distinct groups in the bottom frame, these two figures can be seen on the right side. Both men are holding swords in their right hands. The adjacent inscription describes these men as soldiers assigned as guards for protecting the offerings to Buddha. These men are wearing military attaché Chaeks (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.), indicating that they are of higher rank than a typical soldier.
