Standing Songjeong-dong Stone Buddha

Carved in relief on a broad, slab-shaped block of granite, this Buddha image is severely damaged but still retains an elegant and well-rounded sculptural beauty. The bare head bears a large topknot-shaped hair bun, the ears are rather long, and the face has soft, rounded contours that give a gentle impression. The robe covers both shoulders, further accentuating the fullness of the body. The hands appear to be joined in front of the chest, but the damage is too severe to make this out clearly. Judging from the realistic and well-balanced carving technique, the work is presumed to date from the Unified Silla period.
