Sinhangri: Buddha and Attendants
Sinhangri: Buddha and Attendants
SOUTH KOREA, North Chungcheong, Yeongdong; Silla dynasty
This badly worn sculpture is found on the ancient site of Seokeunsa Temple and dates from about the 7th century, either from the late Three Kingdoms period (57 BCE–668 CE) or early Unified Silla dynasty (668–935). It was listed as Treasure No. 984 in 1984.
The main Buddha figure has a double nimbus and is most likely holding the hands in a mudra. The smaller Bodhisattva attendants measure circa 136 cm. There is an indication the Bodhisattvas wear three-leaf crowns and have their hands held together either in reverence or holding something.
