Each intricate detail of this Manjushri statue reflects the revered lineage of Nepalese artistry. A solid copper core provides its enduring foundation, adorned with a lustrous 3-layer 24K gold gilding.

Manjushri, whose name translates to "Gentle Glory" or "Sweet Splendor," is a prominent bodhisattva associated with transcendent wisdom (prajñā) in Mahayana Buddhism. He is often depicted holding a flaming sword, which represents his ability to cut through delusion and ignorance, and a lotus stem supporting the Prajnaparamita sutra, symbolizing the perfection of wisdom. Manjushri is considered one of the oldest and most significant bodhisattvas, embodying enlightened wisdom for all sentient beings and inspiring the development of analytical insight.
