Summary[edit]

Description
English: Jeju Dolhareubang

While wooden carved statues called Jang-seung traditionally stood in the Korean mainland, stone carved statues called Dolhareubang stood on the volcanic island of Jeju.

Historically, Dolhareubang were erected at the entrances of the areas most characteristic of Jeju Island: Jeju-seong, Jeongeui-hyun-seong, and Daejeong-hyun- seong. They weremeant to protect these public spaces and the surrounding villages like a guardian deity.

The Dolhareubang wards off danger and harm, while exhibiting the humorous and smiling appearance of a

friendly, neighborhood grandfather.
