One thing great in this exhibition was the abundance of expression of faces.
The material was the granite that was very hard for carving.
So it was impossible to carve the sculptures elaborately like as the marble ones.
With those difficulty, the masonry in Goryeo dynasty’d expressed the face of various emotions, peace, sorrow, joy, sad and happiness.
In this post, I’d like to show some of those expressions. There were tens of arhats in the exhibition. I’d like to share all of them with you.
Joy ?
peace ?
ordinary ? hard to read its expression.
