Buddha Triad
Gilt bronze
Buddha Triad
KOREA; Three Kingdoms period
The Buddha stands on a triple-layer inverted lotus pedestal. His monastic robes ripple down and out as he makes the abhaya (fearlessness) and varada (wish-granting) mudras. His body and head are surrounded by a radiating aureole and a nimbus with foliated outer rims. On each side, an attendant Bodhisattva stands on a lotus pedestal and the triad is enclosed by a flame-patterned mandorla. On the reverse side is an inscription which dates the work to 563. It was listed as National Treasure No. 72 in 1962.
