Two Mortuary Tablets for So Hunbo (1775-1815): A Testament to Korean Buddhist Art and Heritage This evocative image showcases two intricately hand-carved mortuary tablets, dedicated to So Hunbo (1775-1815), a figure of significance in 19th century Korean history. The tablets, created by renowned Korean artists Pak Chonghun and Seo Yongbo, are inscribed with a 666-character biography of So Hunbo, meticulously etched onto the stone surface. The tablets, which date back to 1815, are a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Korea during the nineteenth century. The black, hand-carved stone tablets, with their keystone arches, exude an air of solemnity and reverence, reflecting the importance of Buddhism in Korean society during this period. The seated figurines of Buddha on the tablets add a spiritual dimension to the artwork, further emphasizing the religious significance of the mortuary tablets. The intricate carvings on the tablets, which depict various symbols and motifs, demonstrate the skill and artistry of Pak Chonghun and Seo Yongbo. The tablets, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), serve as an important reminder of the artistic and cultural achievements of Korea during the nineteenth century. They offer a glimpse into the country's rich history and its deep-rooted religious traditions, making them an invaluable addition to any collection of Asian art or Buddhist artifacts. These tablets, with their intricate inscriptions and beautiful carvings, are a testament to the enduring legacy of Pak Chonghun and Seo Yongbo, and serve as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the artistic and cultural heritage of Korea and the world.
