Manjusri Bodhisattva
Copper alloy
文殊菩薩像
尼泊爾
此文殊菩薩坐像，造型優美罕見，是目前所知最早的尼泊爾式文殊銅像之一，表現約九世紀末至十世紀的藝術風格。
文殊師利是卓越智慧的象徵，在佛經中常被描述為年輕的法王子，此像的面貌和所佩戴的配件即呈現出青年的特質。菩薩面作圓形，透出些許稚氣。頭戴單葉寶冠，飾鈴狀耳璫，佩戴綴有虎牙的項圈。袒上身，斜披絡腋，左肩垂掛聖線，原有身光已佚。下裳輕薄貼體，衣裾垂落台座前。屈舉左手輕拈蓮花，推測花上原應有一經卷；右手持枸櫞果實，舒右腳坐於低淺的覆蓮坐墊上。
下方為疊澀台座，刻有二相背而臥的獅子，底部雕飾仰覆蓮瓣。此台座受到印度藝術的影響，帶有波羅王朝（Pala，約8～12世紀）風格。
