Stone Sculptures around the 40th Anniversary Pavilion

In the previous post, I introduced the pavilion and the entrance structures located in the center of Seoul metropolitan.

One thing interesting was there were lots of sculptures around the pavilion. The sculptures were animals. Some looked imaginary, and some looked real animals. It seemed that the discipline of displaying sculptures was not so consistent. In my guess, it was closely connected with the fate of the falling dynasty.

Below are the photos of carvings around the pavilion.

Tiger sculpture was as same as Minwha which was drawn by ordinary people.


folks were passing by without any feeling

Even though this pavilion is very unique in its style, people did not notice the meaning of this building and the sculptures.
