The Tabo Pagoda from a North Korean Buddhist Temple : a national treasure

The Tabo Pagoda of the Pohyonsa Buddhist temple located at Mt. Myohyang, Hyangam-ri, Hyangsan County, North Phyongan Province, North Korea. Registered as a National Treasure of North Korea. Known as the "Pagoda of many treasures", this structure is a two-story pagoda. The first story consists of a platform with four stone staircases leading up to the elevated portion. Here, four pillars create a sheltered area that is thought to once have held a Buddhist statue. The second central stage is made of a simple cornice with rounded, beam-like blocks of granite. From the time of Koryeo Dynasty (935CE - 1392).
