Item Details
Description
**Originally Listed At $1200**

East Asia, Korea, ca. 5th century CE. A hand-carved wooden sculpture depicting Buddha in long robes with finely delineated drapery folds. Since Buddhism was a proselytizing religion, it spread widely from its locus of origination in India. The form of Buddhism that reached those in East Asia is known as Mahayana (the Great Vehicle). What sets this sect apart is its emphasis on attaining salvation; this made for the exaltation of the bodhisattva, selfless beings who sacrificed their own buddhahood in order to help others achieve enlightenment. Buddhism came to Korea from China in 372 CE. Size: 6" H (15.2 cm); 10" H (25.4 cm) on included custom stand.
