Seated Gumi Daewonsa Temple Stone Buddha

Although part of the halo is now damaged, the body of this Buddha image is relatively well preserved. In the expression of its facial features, body, robes and halo, it follows the sculptural style of the late Unified Silla period, and the bold, grand treatment of the eyebrows in particular resembles that seen at the height of Silla Buddhism. This Buddha image displays a localised sculptural style produced during the transitional period from the late Unified Silla to the early Goryeo, and is valued as precious material for research into the history of Buddhist art; it is accordingly designated Cultural Heritage Material.
