Standing guard at the entrance to Beopdong Village in Daedeok-gu, Daejeon, this stone guardian post was traditionally believed to ward off evil spirits and protect the community. Its rustic, expressive face reflects the folk beliefs and playful humor of Korea's rural ancestors.
대전광역시 대덕구 법동 마을 어귀에 자리한 이 석장승은 마을을 지키고 액운을 막아주던 전통 수호신상입니다. 투박하면서도 정겨운 얼굴 표정에서 조상들의 소박한 신앙과 해학이 느껴집니다.
