Manjushri
The bodhisattva Manjushri is here identified by the water flower (utpala) in his left hand, which supports a book or Buddhist text. The relaxed, elegant posture and the circular flaming disk behind him are both features of sacred bronzes from northeast India. They demonstrate the close relationship between this region and Java in the 9th century AD.
