This statue's head and body were carved from a single wooden block, and the separately carved hands and knees were attached to the body. Clay was overlaid to smooth the joints between the body and the knees. The stiff rendering of the body and the limbs and the schematic treatment of drapes are markers of the Buddha statues produced in the late sixteenth century. A bokjang deposit of a throat-bell container, a reliquary, Buddhist texts, fabric fragments, and medicinal herbs was discovered in the hollow inside of the statue. Dated votive texts were not found in this viscera deposit, but the silk fragments, the throat-bell container, and the texts that were produced in early Joseon offer clues to the dating of the statue.
