Product description
This antique Tibetan bronze statue depicts Manjushri, the bodhisattva of wisdom, knowledge, and insight within Mahayana Buddhism. The piece is a fine example of 19th-century devotional sculpture, characterised by its traditional iconography and spiritual significance. Manjushri is portrayed seated in meditation on a finely modelled lotus base. In his raised hand, he holds the flaming sword of wisdom, a symbol of cutting through ignorance and illusion. The statue is traditionally hollow-cast in bronze and measures 13.8 cm in height and 10.9 cm in width. The surface exhibits a deep, naturally aged patina consistent with its 19th-century Tibetan origin. The bronze retains its original character, with a rich patina that highlights the intricate details of the casting. The piece is structurally sound and preserves its historical integrity. This compact yet powerful statue serves as both a meaningful religious object and a compelling collector's piece. It brings a sense of serenity and historical depth to an eclectic interior, pairing well with other Asian antiquities or serving as a focal point in a curated display.
