▲ Jangseung (Totem Pole)
Jangseung are traditional Korean totem poles made of wood or stone, traditionally placed at village entrances, roadsides, or temple gates. Rooted in folk belief since the 16th century, they served as guardian deities believed to protect communities from evil spirits and illness while also marking boundaries and directions.

Height: 50~80cm

▲ Sotdae (Bird Pole)
Sotdae are traditional Korean bird poles, featuring a carved wooden or stone bird set atop a tall pole or pillar and revered as a village guardian symbol. With origins tracing back to ancient folk beliefs of the Samhan period, Sotdae were associated with prayers for protection, prosperity, and abundant harvests. Often placed near village entrances or beside Jangseung, the bird, commonly a duck, represents wishes for good fortune and harmony within the community.
