Stone Standing Buddha in Daeyul-ri, Gunwi

This statue of Buddha, enshrined in the Yonghwajeon Hall of Daeyulsa Temple, stands on a round pedestal and measures 2.65 m in height. It shows a refined appearance in the low, broad protrusion on the bald head (usnisha), the round face, the modest eyes and mouth, and the long ears reaching down to the shoulders. The right hand is held with the palm facing outward and the fingertips pointing upward, while the left hand rests on the chest with the palm turned inward — a distinctive gesture. The robe draped over both shoulders forms shallow U-shaped folds running from the chest and stomach down to the knees. The folds of drapery carved at the wrists, together with the long, straight lower body, lend the figure a dignified but somewhat rigid impression. Although it shows a rather stiff quality in places, the face and other features display well the refined and dignified characteristics typical of Silla Buddhist statues.
