The round pedestal of this statue is decorated with a single simplified round of downturned lotus petals. There are Y-shaped robe folds on the costume, which is like a simple dotted line covering the entire body. A plump face, short proportioned body, and chubby face with a familiar smile are the chief characteristics of gilt-bronze Buddhist statues, which became entrenched and localized in the late Unified Silla Period.
