The Bodhisattva Manjushri as a Ferocious Destroyer of Ignorance
The Bodhisattva Manjushri as a Ferocious Destroyer of Ignorance by unknown artist. The image shows a bronze sculpture of a standing male figure with a dark brown patina and gold accents. The figure has a crown on its head with two long, curved sections on either side. The figure's hair is styled in a way that two sections fall on either side of the face. The face has a neutral expression with a slight smile. The figure wears large, circular earrings and a necklace. The figure's torso is bare except for the necklace and ornate, gold accents around the shoulders and upper arms. The figure wears a short, gold-trimmed cloth wrapped around the waist and tied with a belt. The cloth is draped down to the knees in the front and has a triangular section hanging down in the back. The figure's legs are covered in gold accents and have a slight bend at the knees. The left leg is positioned slightly in front of the right leg. The left arm is bent at the elbow with the hand near the stomach. The right arm is also bent at the elbow with the hand near the chest. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
