The statue of the Song Dynasty in the Korean Dynasty
This work demonstrates the persistence of Buddhism and its religious practice during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), even after Neo-Confucianism became the state religion. It is difficult to determine which Buddhist deity this statue represents due to the lack of a crown, but it can undoubtedly be classified as a bodhisattva (meaning "awakening person"). This work is from the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) period. The Joseon Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in the history of the Korean Peninsula. The capital of the Korean dynasty was in Kajing, the old capital of Koryo (now Kaesong; Also known as Songdu), the capital was set in Hanyang (now Seoul) in 1394 and was renamed Seoul the following year.
