Samneung Valley Rock Carvings: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva
SOUTH KOREA, North Gyeongsang, Gyeongju; Unified Silla dynasty
This crowned Bodhisattva is carved on a 2.4 m rock pillar near the top of a cliff, and appears as if projected from the rock. It is listed as Provincial Tangible Cultural Property No. 19. The weathered Bodhisattva stands with the right hand raised while the lowered left hand holds the vase by which the figure is identified. Details of a tied dhoti and jewelry are faintly incised.
