Standing 1.7m tall in Seongsan-myeon, Gangneung, this statue was designated as a Gangwon-do Cultural Heritage on June 10, 1992. It is located at an unnamed old temple site, though local tradition suggests a temple named Bogwangsa once stood here. It is estimated to date back to the late Unified Silla period.

The statue is noted for its overall exquisite details and excellent patterns. While the top of the aureole (nimbus) is slightly damaged, the granite form is well-preserved. It features a large usnisa (protuberance on the head) and long ears. The Buddha is seated in the lotus position, wearing a robe with clear folds over one shoulder. It is historically significant as a rare example of a statue with a full three-tier pedestal in the Gangwon East Coast region.

The jewel-shaped aureole is decorated with floral (Bosanghwa) and flame patterns. While there are traces of inscriptions on the back, they are too worn to read. The octagonal middle stone of the pedestal and the upper/lower sections decorated with lotus petals showcase the sophisticated artistic sense of the period.
