This stone lantern is believed to have been made towards the end of the Unified Silla period(668-935). It has a square base. The middle part of the three-part pedestal supporting the fire chamber is a recent replacement. The rest of the pedestal is ornately covered with lotus petals. The fire chamber, which is octagonal, has four windows with four guardian figures carved between them. The roofstone is topped by an incomplete finial. The stepping stone, which has a decorative pattern carved on its sides, must have been moved to the present place inadvertently, for it is usually placed in front of a lantern rather than at its side.
