Manjushri Tsa Tsa

Manjushri holds a sword in his primary right hand and a volume of the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra (which rests on a small lotus) in his left. Remnants of a bow and arrow can be seen in his secondary hands, and the combination of the four implements identifies the sculpture as a Tikshna- Manjushri, a manifestation that refers to the bodhisattva’s quick wit while further elucidating his position as an embodiment of spiritual wisdom.
