Iconography and Deep Symbolism

• The Flaming Sword: Raised in Manjushri’s right hand, the sword symbolises wisdom cutting through ignorance and mistaken understanding. The flame decoration at its tip reinforces this association with illuminating insight.
• The Scripture on the Lotus: The lotus beside his left shoulder supports a scripture traditionally identified as the Prajnaparamita, or Perfection of Wisdom. Together, the sword and scripture express Manjushri’s association with wisdom and Buddhist teachings.
• The Crown and Jewellery: The elaborate crown, earrings and layered necklaces present Manjushri in the richly adorned form associated with bodhisattvas. These ornaments frame his peaceful face and give the figure a regal appearance.
• The Seated Posture: Manjushri sits with crossed legs on a lotus pedestal. The stillness of the seated figure contrasts with the raised sword, bringing together contemplation and the active symbolism of wisdom.

Artisanal Excellence

Crafted in Patan, this statue combines broad, reflective gold-plated surfaces with intricate ornamentation. Fine scrolling patterns cover the garments, while raised decorative motifs and coloured inlays add texture across the knees and garment borders. The crown, earrings and necklaces echo these details, creating a consistent decorative character from the head to the pedestal.

The face is painted with gold powder and finished with defined eyes, brows and lips. Dark painted hair contrasts with the gold finish, while red-painted flames distinguish the sword’s tip. The rear view reveals further patterned detailing on the garments and pedestal, allowing the craftsmanship to be appreciated from several angles.

Caring for Your Statue

• Placement: Keep in a clean, dry location, away from direct sunlight, moisture and extreme humidity, to preserve gold plated finish.
• Cleaning: Gently wipe the statue with clean, dry cotton. Do not use water, polishes, or any cleaning chemicals, as these may damage the gold plating and fine details. Coarse materials or rough handling could dull or scratch the surface.
• Stability: At approximately 7.350 kg, the statue should stand on a sturdy, level surface.
• Handling: Lift carefully from the base with both hands. Avoid pressure on the sword, crown, lotus and scripture, fingers, scarf ornaments and decorative accents.
• Storage: If not displayed, store in a dry place with soft protective wrapping. Avoid tight wrapping or pressure against the painted face and delicate raised details.
