The boy ‘Chungcheongi’ and the girl ‘Chungnami’, named after the letters in ‘Chungcheongnam-do’, are visualized as friendly images. Chungcheongi is the figurative image of a Baekje Gilt-Bronze Incense Burner, which naturally expresses the landscape in high mountains and deep valleys as well as five musicians. Chungnami is created using the image of the golden crown of the queen of Baekje. The crown was simplified using seven lotus petals in a flame pattern and a honeysuckle scroll pattern in the center of the crown ornament.
