Holiday Resort & Latte Stone(라테스톤)

라테스톤은 고대 차모로인들의 건물을 지지하는 역할을 했던 돌이다. 마리아나 제도 여러군데에서 발견된다. 현대에는 차모로인들의 정체성을 나타낸다.

 

A latte stone, or simply latte (also latde), is the term for a pillar (haligi) capped by a hemispherical stone capital (tasa) with the flat side facing up. Used as building supports by the ancient Chamorro people, they are found throughout most of the Marianas Islands. In modern times, the latte stone is seen as a sign of Chamorro identity and is used in many different contexts. <from wikipedia.org>
