Details: A good example of a 9th century central Javanese image of Manjusri. The bodhisattva is seated in dhyanasana on a lotus upon a rectangular base. His right hand is in varadamudra with the left holding the stem of a lotus supporting the book of “Perfection of Wisdom". He is wearing a dhoti, channavira and jewellery. His eyes are downcast over an aquiline nose and sensuous lips. Together with Padmapani and Vajrapani, Manjusri forms a triad of the most important Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist pantheon. Manjusri is the Buddhist god of wisdom and as such is the counterpart to the Brahmanical goddess of wisdom, Sarasvati. The Buddhist Mahayana sutras regard Manjusri as the Bodhisattva who propagates the sacred doctrines of the school. Age: 9th Century. Height: 11 cm.
