Mountain-peak patterns on the ceiling of the antechamber (eastern wall) 01
This is a detailed view of the mountain-peak patterns on the ceiling of the antechamber (eastern wall) in Tokhung-ri Tomb. High and low peaks connect to form a mountain range, and a diverse range of colors provide a sense of perspective to the image. The depiction of leafy green trees on the mountain ridge convey the energy of spring-time freshness. Although the level of technique may only be intermediate, this is a valuable example of Korea's early landscape paintings.
