Seated Uiseong Jungnyul-ri Stone Buddha

This is a seated stone Buddha enshrined inside a small building at a site believed to have once been a temple. The Buddha sits on an octagonal pedestal carved with a lotus design, and at 81 cm in height it is a relatively small image. The head is covered in small, snail-shell-shaped curls, and the face is broad, with a thick nose and lips rendered slightly protruding. The robe covers both shoulders, and the rendering of its folds is extremely formulaic. The statue is presumed to have been made in the early Goryeo period, around the 11th century.
