Sword of Wisdom

Size : 38 cm 

Material: Iron and Brass, handmade in Nepal.
Manjushri's sword, belonging to the Bodhisattva of wisdom, is one of the most important iconic figures in Mahayana art and literature. It represents prajna wisdom, which is not limited by knowledge or concepts.
His Sanskrit name means "He Who Is Noble and Gentle." He is often depicted as a youth holding a sword in his right hand and the Prajna Paramita Sutra (Perfection of Wisdom) in his left hand or near him. Sometimes he rides a lion, which highlights his princely and fearless nature. Sometimes, instead of a sword and a sutra, he is depicted with a lotus, a jewel, or a scepter. His youth indicates that wisdom naturally and effortlessly arises from him.
