This is a replica of the mural on the south wall in the burial chamber of the Northern Mound of Tomb No. 12 in Tongguo, Jian in Jilin Province. The battle scene of armored warriors was drawn below the lotus painting. To the left of the armored warriors is a scene showing the beheading of a prisoner, and a warrior wearing a helmet and scaled armor dismounting from a horse, and the beheading of another warrior dressed in a similar outfit. The picture of the battle scene in this mural is held to be of great historical value and interest as it confirms the style of battle and situations during the Three Kingdoms Period.
