The sacerdotal robe is penetrated and from the stomach area Eui-mun 이 shown. The robe as a military soldier is shown through the wide circular arc. The base shaped like a lotus is omitted and underneath the feet is destroyed. There is a table aimed to perform worships.

Near the sculpture there are 6 stone monuments of 80-100cm. Considering that there are poles, there must have been a temple. The sculpture is 4.05m tall, 0.5m thick and its chest is 1.3m wide. It is placed in the direction of South East and according to a legend, if the sculpture is blocked unfortunate events may occur in the village.
