Beomeosa Temple Wooden Sibangsambojajonpae

This is a wooden Sibangsambojajonpae held at Beomeosa Temple, a wonpae (a Buddhist votive tablet), one of the ritual implements commonly enshrined on altars in Joseon-period Buddhist halls. Overall, it follows the typical form of Joseon-period wonpae, with a body bordered by a diamond-flower-shaped edge set into a lotus-pattern pedestal. Its form is almost identical to that of the Beomeosa Temple Wooden Seokgayeorae Wipae (a Busan Metropolitan City Cultural Heritage Material). The only differences are that phoenix patterns are carved on the left and right edges of the body, the inscription panel bears the dedicatory name "Sibangsambojajon" (十方三寶慈尊, "the Merciful Three Jewels of the Ten Directions") written in white pigment, and the pedestal consists of a lower stone carved with ten inverted lotus petals and an upper stone carved with eleven upward-facing lotus petals. The Beomeosa Temple Wooden Sibangsambojajonpae is painted mainly with a pale green pigment, with somewhat less precise colouring on its surface, and is valued as important material for understanding one aspect of Buddhist ritual implements of the late Joseon period.
