Masterpiece Of Baekje Kingdom, Buddha Statue
Gilt- Bronze Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Sculpture Of Baekje Kingdom In Gongju Museum
After looking around the relics of King Muryeong, I went upstairs to second floor of the museum to look at other relics of Baekje Kingdom.
What I’d like to see was gilt-bronze Bodhisattva Sculpture in the age of Baekje Kingdom.
I heard that one priceless relic of Baekje kingdom was displayed on the second floor.
It was believed that this sculpture had been made in 7th century.
If it was made in 7th century, this sculpture seemed last work in Baekje Kingdom which was collapsed in 660 AD.
This statue was designated as the national treasury N 247.
The height was about 25 cm. Even though this sculpture was small size, the appearance of the face seemed delicate and perfect.
It’s smile was mysterious and calm.
The appearance of the face seemed to be localized.
This sculpture looked very elegant, especially it’s hand and bottle was so elegantly carved in my opinion.
I hope you adore the photos of the sculptures.
It’s balance was perfect. So I took photos from various direction.
The level of craftsmanship in Baekje kingdom seemed even much more advanced than that of following kingdoms.
I’d like to have a chance to explain this matters.
The world doesn't know much about Korean history. It is interesting to know that in the medieval times Korea was one of the strongest bastions of Buddhism. This precious sculpture indeed provides the evidence. Thanks for sharing :)
Rich history indeed.
I really feel like more people should know about Korean history. I lived in Korea for a year for high school and it was an amazing experience. Such a unique country full of life!
Thank you guys
