Standing Yeongju Eumnae-ri Stone Buddha

This Buddha stands in Sunheung-myeon, Eumnae-ri, Yeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do; its head has been lost and its hands are damaged. The broad shoulders and full-bodied form convey a sense of strength and resilience. The right hand hangs down with the palm facing forward, while the left arm has been broken off. The robe, covering both shoulders, falls in U-shaped folds to the abdomen before continuing into two concentric oval patterns over the legs. This treatment is commonly seen in Unified Silla works such as the Standing Yeongju Seokgyo-ri Stone Buddha. The hem of the robe curving down past the left arm has a three-dimensional, fluid quality that reveals fine craftsmanship.
