Seok Lion of Gwangdeoksa Temple

These are two stone lion statues placed on either side of the staircase leading up to Daeungjeon Hall at Gwangdeoksa Temple. They were carved from a single stone with no separate pedestal; the faces, turned up toward the sky, are set almost horizontally and take the form of human faces. The hair forms a cloud pattern, and the mouths are slightly open, with teeth depicted inside, though rendered with little realism.
