Description

Subject Matter:

An image of the Manjushri, the bodhisattva of wisdom, shown seated on his lion mount, who in turn rests on a large lotus. Manjusri holds a sword high in his right hand, and a lotus flower in his left hand. A profusion of flowers surrounds the image. In the upper left hand corner is a moon, and in the upper right hand corner, a sun.

Physical Description:

A woodblock print, with monochromatic black ink. The impression is good, especially given the detail of the design, although the block appears to have been worn at the outside edges.
