Figurine of Six-Armed Manjusri
Gilt copper alloy
六臂文殊菩薩像
尼泊爾
代表智慧的文殊菩薩之藏密形相，結跏趺坐於一淺圓盤內，而非蓮花，十分別致。菩薩作三面六臂，主要的二臂擁抱智慧佛母，手中同時持有象徵慈悲的金剛杵及代表智慧的金剛鈴；右側二臂分持弩箭與寶劍，左側兩手擎弓與蓮花。佛母有三面，擁抱菩薩頸部的雙手亦持杵和鈴，其他各手的持物，與文殊菩薩同。
造像通身敷金箔，雖顯得袖珍，但整體造像工法精巧，前後皆刻劃細膩。與同時期作品相比，可能因尺寸較小，裝飾顯得較為簡單，但其象徵性仍表現無遺。底座鑿一洞，顯示曾有軸心存在，推測原為可攜帶式的立體曼荼羅之中心主要物件。
