[KS] Two Sokkuram queries

[Robert Oppenheim]

Dear all,

I wonder if anyone could help me with two questions.  Forgive me if these 
are obvious; I'm not an art historian:

1) The central Buddha at Sokkuram retains traces of red paint on its 
lips.  Has anyone ever seen a discussion of how the rest of the stone 
surfaces of the temple were painted, traces remaining into the 20th 
century, etc.?  {Full disclosure: I've never been inside past the window to 
see up close}.

2) Can anyone suggest a reference, more generally, to discussions of 
conventions of depicting human figures in Korean Buddhist temple painting?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
