Description:
The main pillar at brag sbug rdo ring (C-134), erected inside a quadrate enclosure. This gray limestone pillar has eroded and changed color over centuries of exposure to the fierce elements of the byang thang. It is unusual to find limestone pillars in this type of monument, possibly because of the softness and chemical reactivity of this rock.Associated Resources
