Stone Triad Buddha of Daesan-ri, Haman

In front of the village, known as Daesa-gol, there are three remaining Buddha statues that form a group. The Buddha statues on the left and right sides are likely depictions of bodhisattvas accompanying the main Buddha, and the two bodhisattva statues are almost identical in their carving technique, differing only in the hand gestures. They wear a high, cap-like headdress, and their elongated faces feature flatly rendered eyes, nose, and mouth. They are dressed in clothing resembling traditional Korean attire, which appears thick and heavy. The knot on the shoulder and the oval folds of the robe that start from the knees are the most prominent features of the statues. These characteristics are typical of stone bodhisattva statues found in the localized Buddhist styles of the Goryeo period. The base is divided into two tiers: the upper and lower sections, and features lotus flower carvings. The octagonal platform below has floral motifs on each side, suggesting that it follows the early Unified Silla style. The headless seated statue located between the two bodhisattva statues is confirmed to be from the Goryeo period based on the halo (光背) that surrounds it, which represents the light emanating from the body.
