Nambongnimireugam Hermitage Stone Buddha

This stone Buddha, 1.81 m tall, stands on Duseungsan Mountain in Nambok-ri, Gobu-myeon, Jeongeup, Jeollabuk-do; its legs below the knee are now buried in the ground. The head, large in proportion to the body, is covered with small snail-shell-shaped curls, topped by a large topknot-shaped bun. The face gives a full, plump impression, and the features are not delicately rendered. The shoulders are narrow relative to the face, giving an impression of being drawn in. The robe is draped over both shoulders, with an undergarment visible at the chest and a knotted sash depicted at the waist. The hands are rendered on a large scale: the right hand faces upward, while the left hand is lowered with the thumb and little finger touching. Overall, the bodily proportions are awkward and the carving technique loose, but the treatment of the face and drapery folds shows the style of Buddhist statues of the Goryeo period.
