Stone Statues Guarding Tombs

Stone statues of civil officials, called Muninseok , traditionally guarded the tombs of significant figures in Korean history. Dressed in formal attire and holding an official’s tablet, they symbolize protection and respect for the deceased. Accompanying them were statues of military officers in armor, memorial stones, and stone structures like incense burner stands and altar stones, all contributing to the sacred and ceremonial atmosphere of the burial sites.
