EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Gilt-Bronze Bodhisattva, Manjusri, dating back to the Yung-Lo Period in China, between 1403 and 1424. This remarkable piece of art is currently housed in the renowned British Museum. Manjusri, a revered bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism, symbolizes wisdom and insight (prajna). Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this sculpture radiates an aura of serenity and enlightenment. The golden hue of its gilded bronze body adds a touch of divinity to its presence. The Bodhisattva holds a majestic sword firmly in one hand while wearing an intricately designed crown on his head. These elements represent not only his association with warfare but also his ability to cut through ignorance and bring clarity to all beings. With multiple arms extending gracefully from his body, Manjusri embodies boundless compassion for humanity. His male likeness reflects strength and power combined with deep spiritual wisdom. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from the fifteenth century Ming Dynasty era, we are transported into a world where beauty meets spirituality. It serves as a reminder that true enlightenment lies within ourselves if we seek it earnestly. This print by CM Dixon captures every intricate detail of this extraordinary artifact. Its vibrant colors allow us to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such an awe-inspiring work of art.
