These three stone statues, located on the northwest foot of Namsan Mountain, depict a Buddhist triad and are presumed to date to the 7th century during the Silla period (57 BCE-935 CE). The statues were originally found fallen over and scattered in the vicinity. In 1923, they were gathered in this place. The wooden pavilion protecting the statues was built in 1988.
In the center is the principal buddha, who stands with a halo behind his entire body. He has a large protuberance at the top of his head which symbolizes his wisdom. His face is wide and square. His hands are held near the chest palms facing outward, with his left hand pointing down and his right hand pointing up.
The buddha is flanked by two bodhisattvas who have an overall similar shape with symmetrical postures. The bodhisattva on the left wears a headdress and a long beaded necklace. In his left hand, he holds a bottle of pure water. The bodhisattva on the right is adorned with jewelry such as a thick necklace and beaded accessories.
This statue is significantly more eroded than its counterpart, and its original pedestal is also missing.
The nearby discovery of a stone carved with the name "Seonbangsa" suggests that this was once the site of a Buddhist temple with that name.
