7th Century 8th Century Buddha Cast Bronze With Gilding Figurine Fotuo Korea Korean Mudra Statuette

EDITORS COMMENTS
This Standing Buddha sculpture dates back to the Late 7th or Early 8th century, hailing from the Unified Silla Dynasty in Korea. The figure, made of cast bronze with intricate gilding, showcases the rich cultural heritage of Buddhism in East Asia during this period. Standing at approximately 19 inches tall, the Buddha is depicted in a serene and poised stance, with his right hand in the earth-touching mudra, symbolizing his enlightenment and connection to the earth. His left hand is held up in a gesturing position, conveying the teaching of the Dharma, or Buddhist law. The intricate details of the sculpture, such as the delicate facial features, the folds of his robe, and the ornate decorative elements, demonstrate the exceptional skill and artistry of the Unknown artist. The use of color and lacquer adds an additional layer of visual interest, enhancing the overall beauty and allure of the piece. Originally housed in a temple or monastery, this figurine would have been a revered and significant object for Buddhist practitioners, serving as a reminder of the teachings of the Buddha and the path to enlightenment. Today, it is a precious addition to the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich history and artistic traditions of Korea and Buddhism.
