Youthful Manjushri on a Lotus Throne

The bronze sculpture depicts Youthful Manjushri on a Lotus Throne by an unknown artist. The sculpture shows a chubby, youthful figure seated cross-legged on a lotus base. The figure sits on a rounded, flat base decorated with a carved petal design. The youth has short hair and wears a necklace and a robe. The right hand holds a stem with a flower, while the left hand rests on the knee. The figure's facial expression is calm with a subtle smile. The bronze has a dark patina with areas of lighter brown showing through. The background of the image fades from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
