With an architectural design referencing the famous Teatro alla Scala, Milan, Italy, it sought to create a world-class venue for the performance of opera and other theatre.

- Gilt-bronze Maitreya in Meditation (7th-century statue; photograph provided by the National Museum of Korea and nominated by Chris Woodrich) National Treasure of Korea number 83, the Gilt-bronze Maitreya in Meditation is considered one of the finest Buddhist sculptures ever produced.

In particular, look at the hands, which are realistic and detailed, and in positions that help add to the feel of calm meditation and relaxedness.

They are yellowish-greenish in colour, irregularly shaped, grow in tight clumps. Its relationship with other members of the genus, of which it is the type species, is complicated.
Growing in woodland among moss, plant detritus or other habitats, theyare typically found in large numbers. The youngest fruit bodies are small and conical, but the fertile head quickly grows from the stalk. Described as inedible, and edible and even good.

If your comment has not appeared here, you can try purging the cache.The template {{post-nominals}} is adding categories to this page. One way to fix that would be to just list the military honors, in the caption of the left topmost image on this page, without wikilinking them (that is, not use the template), but I'm reluctant to make that change. Still, this page should not be in those categories. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 16:51, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
- I replaced the parameter GBR-cats with GBR, removing the categories and posted a request at Template talk:Post-nominals asking that a namespace switch be installed. – Philosopher 18:20, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
