Upper Cover over Buddha Statue in Bo Kwang Jeon of Sung Lim Sa, Iksan
The most prominent part in Bo Kwang Jeon Hall was the upper decoration over Buddha Statue.
There was an upper cover for Buddha Statue in the Hall. I've seen that decoration several times. But in my memory, this was the most detailed case.
There were dragons and outside was covered with very well-weaved outside. I could not find out what the material was. It looked like to be weaved with the reeds, at first. But looking carefully, I could realize that that outer part was made up with small pieces of wooden materials.
The yellow dragon was very well carved and so vivid as alive. The clouds and the lotus flowers were so nice.

@slowwalker, Of course....There were more wooden decorations. Especially more dragons carved. Also lotus flowers carving amazing and adorable. They used small pieces of wooden materials for more creative designs. Completely awesome scene I see now from Kwang Jeon of Sung Lim Sa.
Hi @slowwalker that is the most complicated decoration I have ever seen. You are right the wood around the dragon is made of very small pieces that almost look like plaited. My first impression was like yours I thought it was made of reed too because it is easy to work with such flexible material. But I am glad that they decided to use wood as it is material that require good skills and may be matches the material of dragon. Amazing ancient Art!
