The wooden statue shows the influence of conventional Buddha statues of the Goryeo period combined with distinctive elements such as a round face with half-closed eyes, a small nose and lips, a plain head and a large topknot. In addition, the color of the face and the gilt body have led experts to surmise that it was made before the 15th century.
