The gridle of King Muryeong is decorated with various patterns such as heart, toad, devil-mask, and animals.
Among these patterns, the toad pattern is considered having some relevance to the animal pattern at the end of the pendent as well as to the devil mask pattern.
Besides, the influence of China is observed from that design in several ways: first, the tomb of King Muryeong itself follows the exact style of brick tombs of southern China, and second, a lot of the remains found in the tomb, together with the girdle, reveals a trace of Chinese culture of the times.

Six tombs dating back possibly to the early fifth century were recently discovered in Gongju, South Chungcheong Province, marking the largest archaeological finding of the Baekje Dynasty (18 B.C.-660 A.D.) since the 1971 excavation of the tomb of King Muryeong.
Also discovered were three celadon jars from China's Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-419), which provided the critical evidence on when the tombs were built and new clues on the extent of Baekje's political dominion between the mid-fourth to early fifth centuries.
The current established theory holds that Baekje's governing authority was mostly limited to the regions around Hanseong with Ungjin - located 150 kilometers south of the area - being virtually out of reach.
