Seated Pyochungsa Temple Stone Shakyamuni Buddha, Miryang

This stone seated Buddha statue, enshrined as the principal image of Pyochungsa Temple's Palsangjeon Hall, is coated with hobun, a white pigment made from powdered shell. Areas of damage have been touched up with hobun paint. The work is notable for its overall balance, seen in the rendering of the tightly coiled curls (nabal), the usnisha (yukgye, the cranial protuberance marking enlightenment), the seunggakgi (the undergarment band tied across the chest), and the folds of the robe.
