This arhat statue from Bulhoesa Temple in Naju is carved with remarkable precision, vividly conveying emotions through its facial expression. The ears are relatively large, a distinctive feature of these statues. This particular arhat has its face resting on its left hand, as if lost in thought. The face is realistically rendered, with detailed muscles and a subtly curved lip, creating a profound sense of lifelike vitality.
