Bodhisattva pensativo

mid-7th century
Not on view
La imagen del bodhisattva pensativo es frecuente en todos los países asiáticos. En Corea, fue la tipología preferida para los iconos budistas de los siglos VI y VII, en particular en los reinos de Baekje y Silla. Esta figura sedente es una de las más espectaculares y mejor conservadas. Posee una sutil pero palpable energía, articulada en detalles como los dedos flexibles y realistas de manos y pies. El cabello trenzado se representa mediante un dramático diseño lineal. Encima de la corona, un orbe y una media luna sugieren influencias centroasiáticas.
