EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Standing Shakyamuni Buddha figurine dates back to the Late 7th or Early 8th century, hailing from the Unified Silla Dynasty in Korea. The sculpture, made of cast bronze with gilding, showcases the Buddha in a serene and contemplative stance, with his right hand in the gesture of giving or teaching (known as the "Vitarka Mudra") and his left hand resting on his lap in the "Dhyana Mudra," symbolizing meditation and deep concentration. The statue, measuring approximately 12 inches in height, is a stunning example of Korean Buddhist art from this period. The intricate details of the Buddha's robes, adorned with intricate patterns and folds, are meticulously rendered, highlighting the skill and artistry of the unknown artist. The Buddha's face exhibits a peaceful expression, with closed eyes, conveying a sense of deep spiritual enlightenment. This statue, now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic achievements of ancient Korea during the Unified Silla Dynasty. The Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Shaka Nyorai or Shih Chia, is a central figure in Buddhism, representing the historical Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, who attained enlightenment and taught the path to end suffering. The Shakyamuni Buddha statue is a captivating work of art that continues to inspire and intrigue viewers, offering a glimpse into the spiritual beliefs and artistic traditions of ancient Korea.
