The gilt-bronze Vairocana Buddha holds its hands in the unity mudra, a rarity among Vairocana Buddha statues of the Unified Silla period. The curved lines of the robe suggest an attempt to vary the range of expression. Overall, the statue gives an impression of heaviness while exuding a simple aesthetic quality.
