Stone Standing Maitreya Bodhisattva of Daejosa Temple, Buyeo

This stone Buddha statue located on the slope of Seongheungsan Mountain is presumed to have been made during the early period of the Goryeo dynasty (918-1392).

The statue was carved from a single piece of stone. Its body roughly expresses the robes. The flat, square face, the cylindrical body of the jewelled crown, and the square canopy-like decoration of the crown are typical characteristics of stone bodhisattva statues made in the Chungcheong-do area during the early Goryeo period.

Its height is about 10 m.
