Manjusri (? – ?)

Manjusri is a revered Buddhist bodhisattva embodying wisdom and intellect, often depicted with a sword to cut through ignorance and the Prajnaparamita scripture; discover their profound symbolism and artistic representations.

This painting depicts two women, a nun and a voluptuous and bejeweled female devotee. The nun, with shaven head and brown dyed monastic robe, holds a bunch of white lotus in her raised hand, likely a gift from her devotee. The devotee holds an oil lamp in the nun’s honor, and a bunch of white lotus buds. The lavish adornment and fulsome physique of the laywoman suggests that she could be a celestial adorant (apsara), like those the artist studied in the early murals at Sigiriya and elsewhere in Sri Lanka. The background has Buddhist temple interior murals evoked in a grisaille-style monochromatic painting.
