Hwasun: Standing Buddha
SOUTH KOREA, South Jeolla, Hwasun; Joseon dynasty
The figure is in the popular style of cliff carvings made during the Joseon dynasty (1392–1910) and mixes the characteristics of a Bodhisattva with those of a Buddha. A round, smiling face that is almost child-like is carved in relief at the top of the pillar while the body is squeezed below in line incision. The folds of the robe are suggested and the figure raises a lotus in both hands.
