Stele of Bongseon Honggyeongsa, Stone memorial stele at Seonghwan-eup, Cheonan, South Korea.
The stone stele stands on a tortoise-shaped pedestal with intricate dragon head carvings and features a rounded top decorated with cloud patterns.
The stele was erected in 1026 CE to commemorate the construction of Bongseon Honggyeongsa Temple, which King Hyeonjong built in honor of his father.
The inscription, composed by Confucian scholar Choi Chung and written in semi-cursive style by Baek Hyeonrye, documents the temple's establishment.
Located at coordinates 36.943093, 127.134675, this National Treasure of Korea remains accessible to visitors in South Chungcheong Province.
The dragon heads on the pedestal face sideways instead of forward, representing a specific architectural style found in East Asian stone monuments.
