What is a border marker?

A border marker is a physical or symbolic object that is placed along the boundary between two countries or territories to demarcate and indicate the separation of their respective territories. It serves as a reference point and helps to establish and maintain the sovereignty and territorial integrity of each country. Border markers can take various forms, such as stones, pillars, fences, walls, or even natural features like rivers or mountains. They are typically placed at regular intervals along the border and often bear inscriptions or symbols representing the countries involved.
