Completed and enshrined in Yongmunsa Temple, Yecheon, in 1684, this wooden altarpiece is known as the oldest work of its kind existing today in Korea. The main part features a vertical rectangle but the erected semilunar panels decorated with a motif of clouds with sun rays on either side create a more solemn piece of religious artwork. The principal Buddha depicted at the center features the head slightly bent as if to pay attention to all those struggling in the world of suffering, and the hands gently laid upon the knees making a symbolic hand gesture to reveal that he is Amitabha Buddha. The outer robe covering both shoulders is rather thick and has folds expressed with a few simple lines. His attendants and guards are arranged to form three tiers exhibiting fine symmetry in which the Four Heavenly Kings stand on the lower tier, two on either side, eight bodhisattvas on the middle and upper tiers, and two disciples kneeling down with praying hands on either side the four bodhisattvas standing in the upper rank. The space between the principal Buddha and the bodhisattvas is decorated with a cloud and sunray motif. There is in front of the altarpiece three wooden statues of Amitabha Buddha and his attendants whose details show that both the triad and the altarpiece were made by the same artist although the statues are generally regarded as superior to the altarpiece in terms of artistic workmanship. According to a postscript written on the lower part of the principal Buddha, the statues were carved in 1684 when Joseon was under the rule of King Sukjong (1674-1720). They are now generally regarded as a fine example of the Korean Buddhist sculpture in the late 17th century.
