Cheolcheonri: Standing Buddha
SOUTH KOREA, South Jeolla, Naju; Goryeo dynasty
This wayside stone Buddha belongs to the series of large statues that were popular during the early Goryeo dynasty (918–1392). The statue was listed as Treasure No. 462 in 1968. It is carved in high relief against the background of a petal-shaped mandorla with a flame-patterned rim. A lotus nimbus with a floral outer rim is behind the head. The figure wears a monastic robe over both shoulders. The folds of the robe curve downwards over the body between the incised vertical line of material falling from the arms. The hands are held in abhaya (fearlessness) and varada (wish-granting) mudras.
