To the right of the Buddha Triad in the Main hall is the original wooden Sakyamuni Buddha, Seoul City Tangible Treasure No 126. It is thought to have been carved at the beginning of the Joseon Dynasty in about 1460 and has been enshrined in the hall since 1910, when the hall was first built. As wooden statues from the Joseon Dynasty are very rare today, this one is very precious.
