Stone Triad Buddha of Daesan-ri, Haman

In front of the village called Daesagol, three Buddhist statues remain, forming a group of stone Buddhas. The statues on the left and right sides are presumed to have been made as attendant bodhisattvas of another Buddha statue, and the two standing bodhisattva figures are almost identical in carving technique, differing only in hand gestures. They wear tall crowns like headscarves, and their elongated faces have flatly expressed eyes, noses, and mouths. They are dressed in clothing resembling Korea's traditional hanbok, giving a thick and heavy impression. The knot at the shoulders and the oval-shaped folds of clothing starting from both knees are the most distinctive features of the statues. These expressions are characteristic of stone bodhisattva statues seen in the localized Buddhist statue style of the Goryeo period. The pedestal is divided into an upper and lower base in two tiers, with lotus flowers carved on it. On the octagonal tier below, flower ornaments are expressed on each face, suggesting it inherits the early Unified Silla style. The headless seated Buddha placed in the middle between the two standing bodhisattva figures can be confirmed as a Goryeo-period statue based on the style of the halo (light aureole) that embodies the light emanating from the whole body.
