古比特佛像网, 编号: 文殊菩萨181
Manjushri is seated in vajrasana on a lotus base which is placed on a tiered throne decorated to the front with a pair of lions flanking a bowl with the triratna. His raised right hand holds the sword while the left the lotus. He is dressed in a dhoti, a cape around his shoulders with celestial scarves encircling the arms. His face displays a serene expression with downcast eyes, with the urna set with a bead, and his blue-coloured hair coiffed in a chignon secured with a tiara, with a large horse-shoe shaped flaming mandorla behind. The throne pedestal contains various offerings including a small blue and white porcelain jarlet.

Provenance
Previously in a private collection in Munich.

Lot Essay

The elaborately carved and gilt-lacquered figure of the God of Wisdom and throne simulate comparable gilt-bronze examples. The style is reminiscent of earlier examples from the fifteenth century based on Tibetan bronzes. The bird at the top of the inner band of the halo is typically Tibetan in style representing the Khyung or Garuda. A similar example was sold at Sotheby's New York, 14 September 2011, lot 324.
