Abstract

This study was carried out to document and diagnose the conditions of the seated stone statue of Buddhist Master Seungga in Seunggasa temple immediately after its conservation treatment, which was found to be long covered in surface of white materials. The stone Halo was researched along with the Statue, and basic data was secured through precisely examination and nondestructive diagnosis. The result from the surface deterioration evaluation shows that both the Statue and Halo had a little bit of physical deterioration, although their level of chemical deterioration was proportionally higher due to discoloration. The physical property diagnosis using ultrasonic measurements on the Statue and Halo showed that the average ultrasonic velocity was found to be 3,570 m/s and 3,373 m/s, respectively, which corresponds to grade III, an indication of a favorable physical property. The surface covered materials were detected to be Ca, Ti, Pb, Fe, Al and Si, emanating from Hobun (Oster shell powder; $CaCO_3$) or lime ($CaO{\cdot}Ca(OH)_2$) and silicate minerals. Furthermore, Ti and Pb seems to be the component of the white coloring pigments, titanium white ($TiO_2$) and white lead ($2PbCO_2{\cdot}Pb(OH)_2$). Therefore, the seated stone statue of Buddhist Master Seungga is presumed to be painted with Hobun or lime and thereafter painted over with titanium white and white lead.

이 연구는 장기간 백색 피복물질로 덮여 있던 승가사 석조승가대사좌상의 보존처리 직후 상태를 기록하기 위해 수행하였다. 좌상과 더불어 석조 광배도 함께 검토되었으며, 정밀조사와 비파괴 진단을 통해 자료를 확보하였다. 표면 손상도 평가 결과, 좌상과 광배 모두 물리적 손상은 크지 않은 것으로 나타났으나 변색으로 인한 화학적 손상률은 비교적 높았다. 초음파 측정을 이용한 물성진단 결과, 좌상과 광배의 평균 초음파속도는 3,570 m/s와 3,373 m/s로서 3등급(MW)에 해당하는 양호한 물성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 좌상의 표면 피복물질에서는 Ca, Ti, Pb, Fe, Al 및 Si가 검출되었는데, 이는 호분($CaCO_3$) 또는 석회($CaO{\cdot}Ca(OH)_2$)와 규산염광물의 조성이 복합적으로 작용한 것이다. 또한 Ti과 Pb은 백색안료인 타이타늄화이트($TiO_2$)와 연백($2PbCO_2{\cdot}Pb(OH)_2$)의 성분으로 판단된다. 따라서 승가대사좌상은 과거에 호분 또는 석회로 칠해진 이후, 타이타늄화이트와 연백에 의해 덧칠되었던 것으로 해석할 수 있다.
