About the Item
A silvered figure of Manjusri seated in dhyanasana on a Pala style Indian base, wearing an ornate crown and wearing body jewelry,
Manjushri holds the sword of wisdom in his right hand and above his left shoulder is a lotus flower upon which rests a volume of the Perfection of Wisdom Sutras.
Manjushri - Tibetan Buddhist Deity Upholder of the Double-Edged Sword
Manjushri is the bodhisattva of wisdom and all his attributes point to the wisdom he personifies. His double-edge sword cuts through the obscuring layers of misconception and discriminates accurately between the independent way things mistakenly appear to exist and the interdependent way they actually do exist. The Perfection of Wisdom Sutra he holds, treasured as Buddha's most profound statement on the ultimate nature of reality, is a further indication that Manjushri's penetrating wisdom is of the highest nature. It is said that the two most potent ways of developing wisdom are to study the sutras and to meditate upon Manjushri.
It is indeed the custom in Tibetan schools to recite the mantra of Manjushri the first thing in the morning, and to repeat the seed-syllable DHIH that embodies the essence of his wisdom.
In Tibetan iconography Manjushri is invariably visualized as a young prince, richly bedecked with precious jewels and an elaborate crown. Here too, seated on a lotus throne, he is adorned with numerous necklaces, armbands, and a marvelous pair of earrings. The three curving lines on his throat symbolize the conch-like sweetness of his voice.
Very fine silver metal intricate Asian Buddhist sculpture.

"The bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara is the Buddhist embodiment of compassion. He is often portrayed as an elegant and gracious youth. The cult of Avalokiteshvara worship originated in India and spread across Asia, along with other Buddhist philosophies and practices. In some places Avalokiteshvara eclipses the Buddha in importance. Buddhist rulers, such as Prince Shotoku in Japan and the Dalai Lama in Tibet, have been seen as incarnations of this saviour.
In Nepal, Buddhism flourished alongside Hinduism long after the religion had lost favour in India. Although the kings of the Early Malla period who ruled the Kathmandu Valley were Hindu, some of the greatest artistic achievements of the age were Buddhist. This gilt copper figure...
