Korean Buddhist sculpture

Korean Buddhist sculpture is a type of art. It is sculptures made to look like figures from the religion of Buddhism, which was founded in India and popularized in Korea. They usually show a figure with a peaceful facial expression, which represents the calm and accepting attitude of people who practice Buddhism. These sculptures are usually made from wood, metal, or stone and are often brightly colored with paint or other decoration. Korean Buddhist sculptures are used as a way to honor and worship the figures within Buddhism, and to encourage people to think about the teachings of this faith.
