This is a statue of Maitreya Buddha from the Joseon Dynasty, carved shallowly into a large cliff rock on the north side of Mt. Gwanak that measures 5 x 6 m. The inscription on the right side of the Buddha shows that it was created due to the donation of the Park San Hoe couple in April 1630. The Buddha has a peculiar posture, sitting obliquely to the left. The head, the hair, and a slim face that looks rather abundant show a good technique. These characteristics are well represented in the slender body and the oval shoulders, etc. The Maami Shunbul is regarded as an epitome 17th-century Joseon Buddha statues.
