 Manjushri Buddhist (Bodhisattva) God of Wisdom cast in the "Lost Wax" process in India

This forty inch high and twenty-six inch wide brass image represents one of the early forms of Manjushri, the Buddhist Bodhisattva whostands for wisdom and knowledge, more particularly the knowledge of linguistics and grammar. The image of the deity, with its two arms and the book Prajnaparmita, carried over a lotus, pursues initial idiom of Manjushri imagery. In early innovations, Manjushri
images had normal two arms, and only rarely four, carrying in one of them a 'khadaga', sword, and in the other the book
Prajnaparmita. Sometimes the book was carried over a lotus, and the arm other than the one, which carried 'khadaga', had a
diamond Ratna-mani or Chintamani, which symbolised truth, as like truth, it neither rusted or eroded.
With the sword, Manjushri is conceived as eliminating darkness, and with the book, as spreading true knowledge.
