OBW 123 ~ Stone

When I look at the title I wasn't sure whether it was rock or stone here mean the same thing. Anyway, these were photos taken during our Korean trip where we visited the Jeju Floklore & Natural History Museum. Sharing photos of the various Volcanic Rocks/Stones for OBW.


These are the various Volcanic rocks that had been carved near the entrance of the
Museum

The Water Carrier
This stone carving of the Water Carrier is a symbol of
strength for the woman folks


Another Basaltic Rock on display

Volcanic Rock. Notice the various cavities?

This sculpture of the 'Grandfather' is another
symbol of prosperity and health.
