This is a rubbed copy of the inscriptions on the Five-story Stone Pagoda at Jeongnimsa Temple Site in Sabi (present-day Buyeo), the capital of Baekje after the fall of the kingdom following the war against the allied forces of Silla and Tang China in 660 (the 7th year of the reign of King Muyeol of Silla). The inscriptions concern the fall of Sabi and King Uija and the abduction of retainers to the Tang Dynasty of China as hostages.
