Civil servant in the Salutation of the Prefects on the western wall of the antechamber.
This is a detailed view of one of the prefects in the Salutation of the Prefects on the western wall of the antechamber in Tokhung-ri Tomb. Twelve of the thirteen prefects paying homage to Jin in this mural are civil servants. This prefect in the image can be seen standing directly behind the military attaché. 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.). The prefect is standing in a Gongsu stance (left hand placed above the right inside of one's sleeves in a gesture of respect or submission) with a white sash hanging below his hands. Other than the face and sleeves, the prefects do not feature black ink outlines. Clearly, this prefect does not feature any meticulous details.
