Manjushri Statue Protector of Knowledge: Embodiment of Transcendent Wisdom
This Tibetan statue depicts Manjushri wonderfully. This wisdom Buddha sculpture was hand-carved in copper by a Nepali artist in Kathmandu and gilded with 24K gold. The lotus, ornaments, and crown were masterfully designed and carved by the artisan, making them both uncommon and attractive. Manjushri is sitting on a moon disk lotus seat with a peaceful and tranquil expression. He is clutching a gold-plated wisdom sword in his right hand. Similarly, on his left, he holds a lotus and a beautifully crafted wisdom book above it.

Manjushri is renowned as the Wisdom Bodhisattva. He represents knowledge and enlightenment. In Mahayana Buddhism, Manjushri is linked to prajna.
Manjushri is revered as a fully enlightened Buddha in Northern Buddhism's Tantric literature, with several manifestations and appearances spanning all four divisions of Tantra, both simple and complex in form. The Eleven Figurative Forms describe Manjushri as serene, semi-peaceful, wrathful, and animal-featured.
