This gilt-bronze standing Buddha wears a robe hung only across the left shoulder, while another robe covers the right shoulder, with Y-shaped robe folds. Fine creases are displayed on the upper part of the obliquely disclosed underclothes. This statue shows the typical form and pattern of a gilt-bronze Buddha statue made in the 9th century, i.e., the late Unified Silla Period.
