Description
This iron statue of Bhaisajyaguru Buddha currently on display in Chuncheon National Museum is one of the five iron Buddhas that were found abandoned in a field in Hakseong-dong of Wonju-si, Gangwon-do. It is almost life size (height: 110 cm) and features round and slightly drooped shoulders. Due to its artistic excellence, good state of preservation, and its rarity as an example of iron work, the statue is considered a valuable source of knowledge about the production of iron statues and images of Bhaisajyaguru Buddha in the fourteenth century.
