Yi Jang-gon Tomb Stone Statue, Changnyeong

This is a stone statue located at the historic site associated with Yi Jang-gon, a civil official of the mid-Joseon period. Yi Jang-gon (1474–?) passed the civil service examination in 1502, the eighth year of Prince Yeonsan's reign, and after holding various offices, earned merit for defeating northern barbarian raiders, eventually serving as Vice Minister of Personnel and Minister of War. The site contains one squarely built tomb mound, two civil-official stone statues (munin seoksang), two military-official stone statues resembling Jeju's hareubang figures, two guardian pillar stones (mangju-seok), the tomb of Yi Jang-gon's second elder brother, the joint tomb of Yi Jang-gon and his wife, one tomb stele, and a sindobi, a memorial stele recording Yi Jang-gon's achievements.
