Manjushri miniature statue (4.3 cm)

Manjushri statue made of bronze in a small format that is easy to carry around. Alongside Avalokiteshvara and Vajrapani, Manjushri is one of the three great Bodhisattvas. He represents the overcoming of ignorance and the attainment of wisdom. In his right hand, the so-called method hand, he holds the sword that cuts through ignorance and symbolically brings light into the darkness. In his left hand, the wisdom hand, he carries the book of transcendent wisdom. Manjushri is considered the patron saint of scholars and students and is invoked for inspiration, clarity and insight.

The figure is approximately 4.3 cm high and weighs around 25 g. It is made in Nepal using traditional craftsmanship. As each piece is individually crafted, the patina and fine details may differ slightly from the example shown.
