There was the expectation that the tomb, later to be named Sôbong ch'ong 瑞鳳塚 "The Tomb of the Auspicious (= 'Swedish') Phoenix" in honor of its royal visitor, would yield a spectacular golden crown of a type similar to the one found by the Japanese archaeologists five years earlier in connection with the very first excavation of a Kyôngju royal tomb, the so called Kûmgwan ch'ong 金冠塚 "The Tomb of the Golden Crown." Indeed the royal party was lucky, and as anticipated could witness the excavation of a splendid and exquisitely made golden crown with a stylized tree rising in front of the headband and a representation of antlers on each side [Fig. 2]. The whole construction was studded with "leaves" of thin gold sheet and comma-shaped jade pendants. This type of crown, of which several more were to be excavated from the tombs in Kyôngju, for a considerable time was considered unique to the Korean peninsula and to a large extent came to be used as a symbol of "Korea" and indigenous "Korean culture" (Ch'oe 1992; Kim 1998).
