Description
An Exquisite Embodiment of Transcendent Wisdom and Clear Awareness
Handcrafted in Nepal, this Manjushri 24K Gold Gilded Tibetan Sculpture measures 5.5”/14cm in height, with a 4.5”/11.5cm base, and weighs 0.51 kg. The sculpture is formed from a copper body, carefully modeled to define the seated figure, lotus pedestal, crown, jewelry, garments, and ornamental details. The surface is finished with 24K gold gilding, covering the figure, pedestal, ornaments, and finely modeled decorative elements with a radiant golden appearance. Acrylic painting is applied to selected details including the black hair, eyebrows, eyes, lips, and other fine facial features, creating definition and contrast against the gilded surface. The copper body provides the sculptural foundation, while the gold gilding and acrylic painting bring out the detailed modeling and traditional Himalayan craftsmanship of the statue.
Manjushri is depicted in his peaceful bodhisattva form, seated upon a lotus pedestal with a calm and composed expression. He wears an elaborate crown, earrings, necklaces, armlets, bracelets, and richly decorated garments characteristic of his bodhisattva appearance. His principal attribute is the flaming sword of wisdom, which represents the sharp, penetrating nature of transcendent wisdom and the cutting away of ignorance. The lotus associated with Manjushri supports the Prajnaparamita scripture, representing the teachings of transcendent wisdom. His seated posture and peaceful expression emphasize contemplation and wisdom, while the lotus pedestal completes the traditional iconographic composition of Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Transcendent Wisdom.
