Fierce Manjushri in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, September 2010


Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Transcendent Wisdom, in an Awesome Aspect
Period: Thakuri period
Date: 10th century
Culture: Nepal (Kathmandu Valley)
Medium: Gilt-copper alloy with color and gold paint
Dimensions: H. 12 1/2 in. (31.8 cm); H. incl. base 14 1/4 in. (36.2 cm); W. 6 1/4 in. (15.9 cm); D. 3 1/4 in. (8.3 cm); Wt. 12 lbs (5.4 kg)
Classification: Sculpture
Credit Line: Purchase, Harris Brisbane Dick, Dodge and Fletcher Funds, and Joseph Pulitzer Bequest, 1982
Accession Number: 1982.220.13
Label:
Manjushri is rarely represented in his wrathful form. Here both his aggressive stance and his fearsome face—flared eyes, knotted eyebrows, and exposed teeth—speak to his angry nature. In addition to the sword, the triple-knot hairstyle and the tiger-claw necklace identify Manjushri.
