Hongcheon Jilli Stone Buddha

This Buddha statue stands beside a road in Jilli, Hongcheon-eup, Hongcheon County, Gangwon State, and no account of its origin or legend has been passed down. At some point the head broke off above the neck, and villagers later repaired it. It stands 2.28 m tall with shoulders 0.8 m wide, and the hands are shown with the right hand held to the chest and the left hand resting on the abdomen. The robe covering both shoulders is symmetrical left and right, concealing the whole body and exposing only the tops of the feet.
