This artifact is a cast iron Buddha statue from the Goryeo Dynasty in Korea. It is now housed in the British Museum in London. Its production date is from 918 AD to 1392 AD 1234. This Buddha statue is made of cast iron. The Buddha statue was discovered at a temple site in Hasachangli, Gwangju, buried to the waist. Many features are similar to the main Buddha statue in Shiku Temple, such as the outer robe covering only one shoulder, fan-shaped folds in front of the crossed legs, and a right hand lowered towards the ground. This statue was made in the early Goryeo period of the 10th century.
