A sichaek is a written decree that bestows an honorary title on a deceased king or queen. This particular sichaek was reportedly discovered inside the tomb of Goryeo’s King Injong, having been granted to him in 1146 by his son and successor King Uijong. Inscribed on a total of forty-three pieces of cut jade, the text mainly describes the noble character of King Injong and lists some of his achievements, such as suppressing Myocheong’s revolt and hosting a ceremony for a bountiful harvest at a wongu (“circular altar”). At the end, the posthumous honorary title is declared. Each piece has a hole at the top and bottom, respectively, where they could be connected with gold thread, but the thread for this sichaek has been lost.
