Hajeommyeon: Standing Buddha
SOUTH KOREA, Incheon, Ganghwa; Goryeo dynasty
The Buddha is carved in low relief on a thick stone slab that arches upward to create a mandorla. The upper part of the mandorla is decorated with flames. An aureole and nimbus surround the figure with flower medallions decorating the border at intersections. The Buddha’s left hand is probably raised in vitarka (teaching) mudra and the right hand is held down in varada (wish-granting) mudra. The folds of the monastic robe covering the shoulders are wide and fall in graduated curves. The carving was listed as Treasure No. 615 in 1978.
