This is a replica of the mural of men of great strength decorating the walls of both sides of the coffin path of the Ssangyeongchong Tomb in Yonggang-eup, Yonggang-gun, Nampo, Pyeongannam-do in North Korea. The men have bulging eyes and imposing noses, like those of Central Asia, and those usually contained in the mural paintings of Goguryeo tombs.
