Manjushri miniature copper statue

Small copper statue of Manjushri. Together with Avalokiteshvara and Vajrapani, Manjushri is one of the three great Bodhisattvas. He helps to overcome ignorance and attain wisdom. On the right, with the "male hand" or "method hand", he carries the sword that cuts through ignorance and at the same time brings light into the darkness as a torch. In the left, "female" hand or "wisdom hand", he holds the book of transcendent wisdom. He is the patron of scholars and students and provides inspiration and knowledge when he is invoked.

The copper statue is made according to ancient tradition in a workshop in Nepal and is approx. 5.5 cm tall. As this is a handcrafted product, the patina and fine details of the piece supplied may differ slightly from the example shown.
