Seated Clay Buddha Statue held at Sudeoksa Temple

This seated clay Buddha statue, held at Sudeoksa Temple, is 39 cm in height, 13 cm across the shoulders and 21.7 cm across the knees. Produced after the 18th century, in the late Joseon period, it takes the Yunwangjwa posture (a royal-ease pose with one knee raised, associated with the Wheel-turning King) while a white cloth is draped over the head like a robe, in the form of the White-robed Avalokitesvara. Such examples are very rare, and the work possesses stylistic distinctiveness, giving it important value from the perspective of the history of Buddhist art.
