Standing Stone (Menhir) in South Korea

A strange standing stone wrapped around with rope like a mummy, standing on the roadside in Ip-seok-dong (= standing stone town). According to the nearby explanation board, citizen of ‘standing stone town’ holds an annual festival : men team and women team compete to wrap the standing stone quicker ; the year when women win they would get good harvest. On the top of the stone where the rope is not wrapped, there are engravings representing the features of a face.
