The Cheonmachong Tomb was originally known as 'Ancient Tomb No. 155' in the Gyeongju district. Following excavations in 1973, researchers concluded that it belonged to Sojimaripgan or Jijeungmaripgan, the 21st and 22nd kings of the Silla dynasty. Numerous relics were unearthed there, including a gold crown and bracelets. Inside, there is a painting depicting a flying horse, hence its name, Cheonmachong Tomb, which literally means 'fresco of a flying horse'. This is a typical Silla crown. Standing 32.5 cm tall, this crown was being worn by Sojimaripgan when it was discovered by researchers.
