Bongeopsa Temple: Standing Buddha
SOUTH KOREA, Gyeonggi, Anseong; Goryeo dynasty
The figure has been relocated from Bongeopsa Temple to Chiljangsa Temple and was listed as Treasure No. 983 in 1989.
The statue is worn but elements such as the small Buddhas and flames surrounding the aureole and nimbus are still visible. The monastic robe covers both shoulders with folds that ripple down the body and over the legs. The round face and clothing are in the style of 8th century Unified Silla (668–935) as well as the Goryeo dynasty (918–1392). The shape and style of the mandorla are similar to 8th century statues from Gamsansa Temple but the presence of the three Buddhas, the nimbus, and the flame pattern is different.
