    Dolmens of Paldalsan Mountain

    팔달산지석묘군

    The Paldalsan Dolmen Cluster is located on the hillside of Paldalsan Mountain to the left of Suwon City Central Library, and consists of four dolmens distributed across two sites. Dolmen No. 1 and 2 are located at 3m intervals on the southern slope of Paldalsan Mountain at an elevation of 80m. Dolmen No. 3 and 4 are located at 3m intervals, 50m northwest at an elevation of 120m. Most of the dolmens have capstones exposed above ground, with some supporting stones visible beneath them, making it difficult to determine their exact structure. However, Dolmen No. 3 has a 1.63m long and 1m wide capstone that has been moved sideways and buried in the soil, exposing the burial chamber. However, some believe that the wall stones forming the burial chamber served as supporting stones. Most of the capstones were made of granite. Judging from the current state of preservation, it is likely a foundation-type dolmen, but further excavation is necessary to determine its exact structure.

    Donglaejeongssi Yagsabul

    동래정씨 약사불

    Seokbul moved from Suwon-dong, Suwon-si to Suwon Museum in 2008. The women of Dongraejeong family used to make an offering on the first day of the month and on the full day. It is composed of three main statues, the left statue of the main zone and the bodhisattva figurine of the left and right side. A circular headlight was represented on the back of the head of the main zone. Overall, there are colored traces around the body of the Buddha, and the expression of a smile with a big neck is a factor that makes a good impression. In view of the bland omission of clothes, the simple shape of softening pedestals consisting of angryong and abdominal cramps, and the detailed carving techniques, the timing of production is estimated after the middle of the Goryeo period.
