다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The wooden Sakyamuni statue enshrined in Seonchal-sa Temple of Andong is one of the eleven Buddhist statues, which were enshrined in Jasu-sa Temple or Insu-sa Temple for the resigned royal concubines in the late Joseon Dynasty near royal palace, Gyeongbok-gung, in Seoul. These eleven statues were created by the most famous and talented monk-sculptors, Hyeonjin, Suyeon, Eungwon and so on, at that time and sponsored by the Queen Jangyeol, wife of the King Gwanghae, in 1622. A Huryeongtong (ritual container), a written prayer, a women`s Jeogori (jacket), Dharanis, and written papers were found from the belly of the statue. A written prayer contained various important information such as the time when the Buddhist statue was created, the sponsors, the purpose of the creation, and the names of the sculptors. In addition, we could recognize the situation of the Royal Buddhism and the activities of the Buddhist sculptors all over the country in the late period of King Gwanghae. It was confirmed that the Sakyamuni statue of the Seonchal-sa Temple, unlike the Vairocana statue of the Jijang-am Hermit had a mixed sculptural style of Hyeonjin, Eungwon, and Suyeon and so on, was composed of Hyeonjin style only. So it was confirmed that the combination of the sculptors from various monk-sculptors` schools was in various ways, and the style of the statues was in various ways too.
