Manjushri is represented in this important gilt Bronze sculpture as the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, identified by the emblem of a prajnaparamita sutra resting on the flower at his shoulder which was Acquired Through a Private Asian Collectors Auction listed as an early 19th Century Tibetan Rendition.

Fire-gilt copper images of standing deities such as this define the Newar aesthetic in the late Transitional period (ca 879-1200 CE) and the beginning of the Early Malla period (1200-1482). Bodhisattvas are modelled as idealized youths adorned with jewelry and standing in graceful tribhanga. Fabulous sculptures such as the Manjushri captured the imagination of Tibetan patrons during the Chider, the ‘Later Diffusion’ of the Buddhist faith, corresponding to the period c. 1000–1200, as sculpture was sought to fill the halls of newly built monasteries in Central Tibet.
