This statue represents Manjusri the Bodhisattva of wisdom. The lotuses flowering at his shoulders support his symbols, a book on his left side and a tiny sword on his right. His hands are in a position known as dharmachacra mudra or the teaching position. The statue is modern and has almost certainly been made in China, probably within the last five years or so.
