The Seated Jijang Bodhisattva
 
ADDR : Asan-myeon Gochang-gun Jeollabuk-do
 
TYPE : Valuables - 280
 
ERA : Goryo era  
Appointed Date : 1957.08.30  
  This is considered to be one of the greatest works of art from the end of the Goryeo dynasty. Its form and size are similar to the statue in Daeungjeon, but its carving style is more realistic. Its balanced face reflects the decent and graceful impression, and the curved line of its shoulders is very natural. Unlike typical Jijang Bodhisattva statues as the shape of monk, it wears a hood, which was in vogue during the Goryeo dynasty.
