Standing Buddha
KOREA; Unified Silla dynasty (668–935); Gilt bronze; H: 25.4 cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio, USA |
| This statue shares similar traits with the one discovered in the 1970s at the Anapji Pond Banwolseong Palace, suggesting it may date from late 8th to early 9th century. The broad bodied Buddha stands with one arm raised and the other arm lowered. The cap-like hair rises steeply with no transition into a usnisa, a feature common on 8th century Korean statues. The figure wears an outer monastic robe over an inner robe with the material falling deeply from the arms. The material 's folds divide distinctively over the thighs and then ripple downwards. There are tenons on the back that once secured a mandorla. |
