Seated Rock-carved Buddha in Sansu-ri, Jincheon

This seated Buddha image in Sansu-ri, Jincheon-gun, North Chungcheong Province, is carved in high relief on a large rock, showing only the upper body. The face has a full, gentle expression, the ears hang long, and the neck bears samdo, three lines of folds. An unusual feature is the placement of three small Buddhas, seated on lotus stems, above the face. The absence of a carved lower body is also unusual, and the rounded overall lines give the figure a gentle, harmonious impression. This treatment of the body is representative of the Buddhist sculptural style of the Jincheon region of North Chungcheong Province.
