Baengnyulsa Temple: Standing Buddha
SOUTH KOREA, North Gyeongsang, Gyeongju; Silla dynasty (57 BCE–935 CE); Gilt bronze; H: 30.7 cm; National Museum of Korea, Seoul, South Korea |
This statue was originally in Baengnyulsa Temple and is one of 20 similar statues found in the Gyeongju area, that have all been dated to the Silla dynasty (57 BCE-935 CE).
With the waist displaced to the right, the figure's pose derives from the tribhanga posture of Indian sculpture. The Buddha wears a monastic robe that leaves the right shoulder bare and exposes the skirt beneath. The damaged left hand is raised in abhaya (fearlessness) mudra, while the right hand appears to carry a jewel. Almost closed, the eyes are serene and the three lines on the neck is one of the Thirty-Two Marks of Excellence. |
