Manjusri wears a treasure crown on his head, with blue hair. The treasure thread is tied behind his ear in a flower knot, in the shape of “U”. The face is square, the eyebrows are fine, the eyes are slightly closed, and the solemnity contains kindness, the nose is high and straight, and the earrings are pendulous. There are three necks, with wreaths on the chest, silk on the back, skirts on the lower body, lotus stems in both hands, a lotus flower on each shoulder, and a suitcase and a sword placed on the lotus. The arms, wrists and feet have bracelets. The lotus seat is decorated with bead patterns on the back, and the upper part of the seat is carved with the regular script “The Year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty”
During the Yongle and Xuande periods of the Ming Dynasty, for political needs, a certain number of Buddhist statues and artifacts were cast and awarded to eminent monks and political dignitaries in Tibet. In addition to the existing Tibetan cultural relics management department, the Palace Museum still has more than 20 Buddhist statues, including Manjusri, Maitreya, Guanyin, and the Honorable Mother of Buddha. Their clothes are gorgeous and exquisite, rich and elaborate, and have an obvious palace statue style.
