| Pair of Large Painted Korean Buddhist Temple Architectural Sculpture (Byeoljihwa) with painted lotuses that are imbued with profound symbolism in Buddhism of rebirth and purity, and attached painted pullocho, the mythical longevity plant, projecting in in a row from the front. In the Dancheong painting method used in Korean temple design, each color was applied by a different artist. A fine and rare example of old Korean Buddhist folk art and a striking piece of architectural sculpture that displays nicely at the top of a wall along the ceiling line, much like the way they were originally displayed under the eaves of an old Korean Buddhist temple. 86 inches (118.5cm) long x 8 inches (20.5cm) tall. | ||
