Master Chupadang Stupa and Stupa Stele of Simjeoksa Temple, Sancheong

This is an important academic resource for research on Buddhist sculpture of the Joseon dynasty. The bell-shaped stone stupa and stone stele, of a type commonly found in the late Joseon period, are academically valuable for the study of stone monuments and epigraphy in the late Joseon Gyeongnam region, since the inscription on the stele is clearly legible. The stupa is inscribed with the name 'Guyeontap' (Guyeon Stupa). At its top, a lotus-bud-shaped jewel finial protrudes in a semicircular form, and below it is a decorative band of thirteen lotus petals in a pointed, single-layered, upward-facing style, above which is arranged a further band of five lotus petals with rounded tips.
