Gyeongju Dongcheondongsabangbultapsinseok

This cuboid stone is thought to have originally been the body stone forming the central shaft of a pagoda. Buddha images are carved on all four side faces, excluding the top and bottom; each figure is shown emitting light from the head and body, and each has a different hand gesture. On the top face is a raised lotus design in relief. Judging from the carving technique, the work is thought to date from the Unified Silla period, and it is an unusual piece with no comparable example so far found in Korea.
