China, 1368-1644. Seated in lalitasana on a recumbent lion atop a square lotus base, dressed in a dhoti with foliate hems, adorned in ornate and beaded jewelry, the oval face with downcast eyes and gentle smile, surmounted by a tall floral crown, and sashes framing her arms. He is holding both hands in vitarka mudra. The caparisoned lion with its head turned backwards, the mouth ajar revealing his fangs, and with bulging eyes.

Provenance: Collection of Horst Rechelbacher, and thence by descent. Horst M. Rechelbacher (1941-2014) was an Austrian American businessman who was the founder of the cosmetics company Aveda Corporation and Intelligent Nutrients. His interest in developing products without toxic chemicals launched the market for natural cosmetics in the United States. The same curiosity that led him to explore ways to improve the beauty industry led him to travel the world, collecting rare and beautiful objects as he went.
Condition: Good condition with old wear, casting irregularities, few nicks, dents, small losses, remnants of ancient pigments, minor encrustations. The bronze with a fine, naturally grown patina.

Weight: 1.5 kg

Manjushri (Chinese: Wenshu), the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, is often shown seated on a lion holding a ruyi scepter or a sword. According to legend, he resides on the mountain Wu Tai Shan in China and was a disciple of the historical Buddha Shakyamuni.
