Beauty Of 4 Face Buddha Statues of Baekjae Dynasty
There is the only one 4 faced Buddhist statue left in Korea.
Even though the faces and the hands were destroyed, I could see the real beauty of Baekjae dynasty.
The front was Shakamuni Buddha
Searching for internet, I noticed that the faces of this statue were being protected in the museum.
It seemed that this statue had been made more than 1400 years ago. Regardless of such a long time, the expressions of the statue were so delicate. Especially the clothes were so wonderful.
There were 4 Buddha statues in one stone.
The Buddhas were Shaka, Amitabha, Maitreya and the Bodhisattva of the medicine.
Amitabha Buddha
Maitreya Buddha
Bodhisattva of the medicine
I' d like to compare 4 face statue of Shilla dynasty which had existed at same period in southern part of Korean peninsula. I believe this work will help me to understand the characteristics of the ancient culture in Korea.
oh..how much veneration for these statues ... so rare!

Very detailed photography sir. Lord Buddha is the symbol of peace and I very much like his journey. I am from India, the neighbour country of Nepal where Lord Buddha was born. Do you know that he brought up in shakya, capital of Kapilvastu which is prestenly names as Piprahwa, India. Very much like your photography and I aslo do photography posts on steemit.

@slowwalker, I'm pretty interesting to see four face Buddha statues of Baekjae Dynasty. But especially Shakamuni Buddha statue perfect seems coz cloths carved there awesomely. But I can't get better idea comparing with 4 face statues with 4 face statue of Shilla dynasty. But I think you can find better explain it. There had long history. Thank to very perfect captures.
Maybe your photography best but keep in mind don't worship him because God is one and we all should to worship him. Thanks for your time
