Original – The Gilt-bronze Maitreya in Meditation is a statue depicting Maitreya seated in meditation. In 1962 it was designated South Korea's 78th national treasure. It measures 83.2 centimetres (32.8 in) and probably dates back to the Silla period.

Reason: Another high quality statue photograph. Note that this is a different statue than Gilt-bronze Maitreya in Meditation (National Treasure No. 83), which was already promoted.

Support - while writing a bit of Signpost content, realized how rare this kind of Buddha depiction is. Hafspajen (talk) 09:40, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support. While the article could use some love (and this probably shouldn't hit the MP until it has) and I am unable to confirm the license (due to the curse of the monolingual), this is a very solid photograph with bags of EV. J Milburn (talk) 19:24, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
