| Description |
Beopjusa Seogyeonji - The stone basin on the left under the roof, upper right inset. The basin stands on an octagonal foundation. A mushroom-shaped prop stone is installed on the foundation to support the superstructure. The basin, with its inside dug out, is made of a huge rock which is carved like a half-open lotus bud. Around the lower portion of the basin are engraved small lotus petals. Large double-petal lotus flowers are carved around the upper portion. Small stone railings are installed on the rim of the basin, under which are carved a row of parapets. The upper railings are similar in shape to those seen in Dabotap, or the Pagoda of Many Treasures at Bulguksa Temple, creating an impression of antiquity. The lower parapet wall is decorated with various patterns, adding to the beauty of the basin's appearance. This brilliant but elegant stone basin, dating from around the eighth-century Unified Silla period. Beopjusa (법주사), initially constructed in 553, is a head temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism situated on the slopes of Songnisan in Naesongni-myeon, Boeun County, in the province of Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea. National Treasure #64. |
