Ming Dynasty Chinese Tibetan Gilt Bronze Bodhisattva Buddha figure of standing Manjushri, of the Tsuglakang Lhasa, Tibet. Almost all belong to the group of the Eight Great Bodhisattvas. Peaceful and youthful in appearance, orange in color like the rising sun, the left hand loosely extended across the knee holds the stem of a blue utpala flower blossoming above the shoulder. The right hand with palm upfront. At the top of the head beneath a gemstone blazing with orange fire the blue hair is piled in a topknot, some falling loose across the shoulders, tied with golden flowers. Lightly adorned with gold earrings and a choker necklace, he wears a scarf and a lower garment with even-folds covering the legs. In a relaxed posture of royal ease atop a lotus blossom. Standing representations of Manjushri might also be created to accompany statues of the Buddha where a bodhisattva figure would stand on the right and left side of the central Buddha, or possibly the figure of Amitabha Buddha. The most common accompanying figures are Avalokiteshvara, Maitreya, Vajrapani and Manjushri. Manjushri as a bodhisattva, figure rather than representing a Tantric deity, is also commonly found as a member of the group of Eight Great Bodhisattvas. In early Himalayan and Tibetan art these figures were typically depicted in a standing posture. The reverse side of Buddha shows a rectangular cut-out, on waist, with a precisely fitting bronze comes with the sculpture.
