Gangjin Baengnyeonsa Temple Wonguhyeong Stupa

This is a sarira stupa (a reliquary stupa for Buddhist relics) standing to one side of Baengnyeonsa Temple; whose relics it enshrines is not known. The stupa consists of a ball-shaped body set on a square base. Particularly eye-catching is a beaded band carved with a lotus design at the very top of the body. It is the oldest work within the temple grounds, and a Goryeo-period piece notable for its unusual stylistic technique.
