There was a room for the exhibition for the decorations of the buildings in Hoeamsa temple. It looked to be excavated under the ground. Most of the decorations were found in tearing part into pieces.
There were two kinds of decorations in the exhibition room.
The first was the dragon’s head.

In explanation board, the dragon’s head was hung at the end of the beam.
The other one was the animal’s head.
Here the animal must be an imaginary, but there was no explanation for this animal’s head.
