7th Century 8th Century Buddha Cast Bronze With Gilding Figurine Fotuo Korea Korean Mudra Shaka Nyorai Shakyamuni Shih Chia Shijiamouni Statuette

EDITORS COMMENTS
This work of art depicts Standing Shakyamuni Buddha, a revered figure in Buddhism, dating back to the Late 7th or Early 8th century. The creator of this magnificent piece remains unknown, adding to its enigmatic allure. The statue, a cast bronze figure with intricate gilding, is a testament to the artistic achievements of the Unified Silla Dynasty in Korea. Standing at approximately 12 inches tall, the statue showcases the Buddha in a serene and contemplative pose, 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 spiritual focus. The statue's intricate details, such as the delicate folds of his robe and the expressive facial features, reveal the skill and dedication of the artist. The statue, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a significant addition to the museum's extensive collection of Asian art. The statue's rich color and ornate decoration reflect the cultural heritage and religious beliefs of ancient Korea, offering a glimpse into the past and a connection to the spiritual traditions that continue to influence our world today. Whether appreciated for its historical significance, artistic merit, or spiritual resonance, this Standing Shakyamuni Buddha figurine is a stunning example of the enduring power of art to inspire, educate, and connect us across time and cultures.
