 This statue is stylistically indebted to the central figure at Seokguram and some scholars suggest that the statue is from the Great Silla period.Both Buddhas employ the same "earth-touching" mudra which was first popularized in Korea by the Seokguram image.The fan-shaped folding of cloth between the legs of the Buddha, the way the clothing on the image was depicted, and the "cross-legged seated posture" are all typical of Unified Silla sculpture.
