Kumgang in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The statues are exhibited at the Korean Central History Museum. They consist of Amida Buddha, 15.2 cm high, in the middle, Ksitigarbha, 12.6 cm high, in the right and the Merciful Goddess, 13.2 cm high, in the left. Bodies of the statues are proportionate with each other, well harmonized in formative and artistic representation. |
