Seated Stone Buddha in Munju-ri, Chungju

The head has tightly curled hair, and no usnisha, the cranial protuberance symbolising enlightenment, is shown. In proportion to the face, the nose is large and the mouth small, and the eyes are shown half-closed. The ears are short and the shoulders are raised slightly upward, with the three folds of the neck (samdo) depicted. The robe is draped to bare the right shoulder, and the hands form the earth-touching gesture that symbolises the Buddha's subjugation of Mara. Of the pedestal, only the octagonal lower base and middle section remain, and a halo stands near the Buddha figure.
