Relic

Cheonmachong Tomb was at first called the Ancient Tomb, No. 155, in Gyeongju District. After excavating the tomb in 1973, researchers concluded that this tomb belonged to Sojimaripgan or Jijeungmaripgan, the 21st and the 22nd king of the Silla Dynasty. Many relics were unearthed from this tomb, such as a gold crown and bracelets. Inside the tomb, there is a drawing of a flying horse, which is why the tomb became known as Cheonmachong Tomb, which literally means the “mural of a flying horse”. This is a typical Silla crown. 32.5cm in height, this particular crown was worn by Sojimaripgan when discovered by researchers.
