Seoul Korea - Dome of the Statue of Brothers

The plaque reads:

“The Statue of Brothers is an 18 metre wide and 11 metre high symbol of the Korean War. It consists of the upper part, lower part and inner part.
The upper part of the statue depicts a scene where a family’s older brother, a ROK officer, and his younger brother, a North Korean soldier, meet in a battlefield and express reconciliation, love and forgiveness.
The lower tomb shaped dome was built with pieces of granite collected from nationwide locations symbolising the sacrifices made by our patriots. The crack in the dome stands for the division of Korea and the hope for unification.
Objects inside the dome include a mosaic wall painting that expresses the spirit of the Korean people to overcome the national tragedy and a map plate of the 16 UN Allied Nations that dispatched troops to the war. The links of iron chain on the ceiling signify the unbreakable bonds of a unified Korea.”
