This 9th-early 10th century Standing Buddha statue is an exquisite example of Korean heritage art from the Unified Silla Dynasty. The figurine, made of cast bronze with gilding, showcases the intricate details and masterful craftsmanship of the time. The Buddha is depicted in a standing position, with his right hand in the mudra gesture of teaching and his left hand resting on his lap in the vitarka mudra, symbolizing the turning of the wheel of Dharma. The statue's color and hue have been preserved over the centuries, with the gold gilding adding an ethereal glow to the figure. The Buddha's serene expression and graceful posture convey a sense of peace and tranquility, making it a revered religious artifact for Buddhists. The Standing Buddha statue is a significant addition to the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Korea and its religious traditions. The statue's exact creator remains unknown, but it is a testament to the artistic achievements of the Unified Silla Dynasty. This masterpiece is not only a work of art but also an important historical artifact, providing insights into the religious practices and artistic styles of ancient Korea.
