10th Century 11th Century Buddha Eleventh Century Figurine Fotuo Goryeo Goryeo Dynasty Korea Korean Koryo Dynasty Mudra Statuette Tenth Century

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Seated Buddha figurine dates back to the 10th to 12th centuries and is an outstanding example of the artistic achievements during the Goryeo Dynasty in Korea. The statue is made of cast bronze with traces of gilding, showcasing the intricate details and vibrant colors that have been preserved over the centuries. The Buddha is depicted in a serene seated position, with his legs crossed in the full lotus position and his right hand in the gesture of teaching (Bhumisparsha Mudra), while his left hand rests in his lap in the gesture of meditation (Dhyana Mudra). This composition represents the Buddha in the act of bestowing his blessings and enlightenment upon his followers. The Seated Buddha statue is an essential part of the Buddhist heritage, reflecting the deep spiritual beliefs and practices of the religion. This figurine was likely used as a devotional object in temples or private shrines during the Goryeo Dynasty. The intricate details and the use of bronze with gilding demonstrate the advanced metalworking techniques and artistic skills of the artisans during that time. This Seated Buddha figurine is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich cultural history of Korea and Buddhism. The statue is a testament to the enduring influence of Buddhist art and its ability to transcend time and cultural boundaries.
