Seated Gaesimsa Temple Gilt-bronze Buddha

The gilt-bronze seated Buddha of Gaesimsa Temple is 20 cm in overall height and 12 cm wide. It wears a robe covering both shoulders (tonggyeonui) and forms the meditation mudra (seonjeongin) with both hands clasped together. Buddha statues combining a both-shoulders robe with the meditation mudra are uncommon, and since the statue's provenance at Gaesimsa Temple is confirmed, it holds great value and is regarded as a precious resource for academic research, including in the history of Buddhist art.
