The image is a blackboard with white text written in Korean. The text is written in a traditional Korean script and appears to be a poem or a quote. The background of the blackboard is plain and the text is centered on the page. The poem is about a sovereign of Joseph kingdom passed away, who was buried in his tomb following a series of court-regulated funeral rites. The state funeral for the king or queen was one of the five major state rites - the auspicious rites - that was held with utmost respect. It took about five months from the moment of royal death until the departure of the coffin for the tomb site, and the mourning period lasted three years until it officially ended with the establishment of the spirit tablet into the royal ancestral shrine. The end of the state funeral was immediately followed by publication of the funeral procedures in an account called wigwe, the royal protocols.
