Created during the Unified Silla period, a high point of the spread of Buddhist teachings, this kind of miniature statue was often used as a portable object of devotion by traveling Buddhist monks. This particular Buddhist statue is very similar in style and size to the one in the collection of the National Museum of Korea.
