Description
Flagpole supports are a pair of stone supports to hold flag poles used for special occasions at a temple. Located at the entrance of Buseoksa Temple, these bases of flagpoles are a meter apart from each other. There is no decoration on the inside and outside of these two supports, but there are circles and three vertical stripe patterns carved into it. The square hole near the top of the supports was to hold the banner poles. The motif adorning the round stone base is of lotus petals. The simple and refined technique by which the supports were made indicates that they were erected in the Unified Silla period.
