Baekje figures express a unique smile that has been described as both enigmatic and subtle. The smile has also been characterized in many different ways from "genuinely glowing" to "thin and mild" to "unfathomable and benevolent".[1][2][3]
While Goguryeo sculpture was highly rigid, and Silla sculpture was formalized, Baekje sculpture exhibited distinct characteristics of warmth, softness, and used relaxed poses.[4] Sometimes, the Baekje style has been attributed to influence from the southern Chinese dynasties.[4] The smile gives the Baekje statues a sense of friendliness and an air of pleasantness that is rarely found in other traditions of Buddhist sculpture. The smile is considered to be unique and distinctive.[5]
