EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artefact from the 15th century - the Statuette of the Bodhisattva Manjusri. Housed in the prestigious British Museum, this gilt-bronze statuette is a testament to the rich heritage of Buddhism. The Bodhisattva Manjusri, depicted in vivid color and sitting cross-legged, exudes an aura of tranquility and wisdom. In his hands, he holds a magnificent sword, symbolizing his role as a protector and vanquisher of ignorance. This religious object represents not only devotion but also embodies concepts of war and weaponry. Gilded with intricate details and expert craftsmanship, this statuette stands as an exquisite example of artistry from the fifteenth century. The artist's skillful rendering captures every delicate feature with precision. As we gaze upon this image captured by CM Dixon (Mike Dixon), we are transported back in time to witness the profound spiritual significance that Buddhism held during this era. The crossed legs signify meditation while simultaneously evoking notions of warfare and conflict. Through its striking presence, this Statuette of the Bodhisattva Manjusri serves as a reminder that religion can be both peaceful and powerful – offering solace to believers while also representing strength against adversity.
