Hongeundong: Seated Bodhisattva
SOUTH KOREA, Seoul; Goryeo dynasty
The figure, also known as the White Buddha for its white appearance, is carved in relief on the surface of a rock. The carving, located in Okcheonam Temple since the Silla dynasty (57 BCE–935 CE), was sought after by the imperial family of the Joseon dynasty (1392–1910) for bestowal of blessings. The Bodhisattva wears a headdress and jewelry, all of which have been gilded. The figure is also clad in monastic robes and sits cross-legged with the right thumb and middle finger touching. The carving is listed as Municipal Tangible Cultural Property No. 17.
