One thing impressive in the exhibition was small sculptures.
There were various appearances of small buddha sculptures in the exhibition.
It seemed that those small sculptures were made for carrying and serving in daily life.
Even though those sculptures were small, the expression of buddhas’ faces was so delicate.
As far as I know, the Basic theory of Buddhism is starting from removing the desire. Then, how the political power could me build under those spiritual circumstances.
Anyway the small buddha statues seemed very common in Goryeo dynasty.
It seemed the small house below remind of the temple.
Excellent post sir I really enjoy your page keep up the good work 👏 and I really appreciate your support it means alot thank you

I wonder if they get ideas for modern temple designs from these old pictures and statues?

@slowwalker, these golden Buddha statues very impressive to scenery. We're lucky to see them. Goryeo dynasty made glorious traditional things to see current and next generations.

That is beautiful and unique works, it is difficult to do small statue and Artworks than the big sizes, because even for small one the Artist need to reflect the features of figure how it would be in real size. I was always thinking if such Artists had any helpful gadgets such as enlargement glass, and fine instruments. When I see such little figures, that reminded me the stuff in Europe when they had a little crucifix, made sometimes of wood or sometimes of ivory , that they made for travellers, so that they also could pray. I was wondering if the same idea was behind those Buddha's too?

Although they are small, they can reflect and remind us to keep our desire in order to get light of life. We can see the shine of gold color that human can reach heaven if they has control their desire.
Thank you @slowwalker for this beautiful post.
