assis sur un socle lotiforme, Manjusri en vajrasana avec le corps légèrement penché vers la droite, brandissant dans ses quatre mains ses attributs —l'épée, le texte sacré, l'arc et la flèche—, la tête auréolée d'une mandorle enflammée, Prajña assise avec la jambe gauche repliée sur l'autre, le corps penché en arrière regardant le Bodhisattva, la main droite présentant une perle et la gauche levée en vitarka mudra tenant une tige de lotus s'épanouissant près de l'épaule, non scellé
Provenance
Acquired from Jean-Claude Moreau-Gobard, Paris, prior to 1967.
Condition
The mandorla is cast separately and is slightly loose. The bow string is broken. The top of the base, on which the two figures are seated, has been slightly pushed-in on the right side below Prajña with an associated crack. Otherwise the two figures are in good overall condition. The base is unsealed.
