This is kept in Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art and its preservation status is good. It has a topknot-like large usnisa (protrusion on the top of Buddha's head) on the curled hair and the round face, acute eyes and small mouth give it a solemn appearance. The robe over the shoulders is U-shaped and forms a diagonal line across the wide exposed chest. The pleats of the legs flow in a U-shape to follow the contour of legs. The right hand faces outwards with the fingers spread and the left hand is directed downward. The pedestal on which the statue stands is octagonal with a lotus carving. Flower patterns rise high on the lower pedestal.
