By Paperinside Korea website, this is the Jangseung Pole Totem paper model. A Jangseung or village guardian is a Korean totem pole usually made of wood. Jangseungs were traditionally placed at the edges of villages to mark for village boundaries and frighten away demons. They were also worshipped as village tutelary deities. In the southern regions of Jeolla, Chungcheong, and Gyeongsang, jangseungs are also referred to as Beopsu or Beoksu, a variation of Boksa, meaning a male shaman. - Wikipedia
