Angidong: Seated Buddha
SOUTH KOREA, North Gyeongsang, Andong; Unified Silla dynasty
Only the statue’s much worn body, unearthed at Angidong, dates from the latter half of the 8th century. The current head is a later reproduction and the source of the pedestal is unknown. The figure sits in half lotus posture, making the bhumisparsa (earth-touching) mudra. A monastic robe covers both shoulders. The statue was listed as Treasure No. 58 in 1963.
