In Sanskrit, "shree" means 'glorious' or 'honorable'. His name signifies one who embodies enlightened wisdom. He confers mastery of the Dharma, wisdom, and eloquence and teaches the path of a bodhisattva in the Mahayana tradition. ☛ About Color Finishing The Manjushri is adorned with traditional colors, creating a captivating aesthetic through a combination of gold and various hues. This painting technique follows a time-honored process that aims to faithfully represent the Manjushri in accordance with traditional color descriptions. In the context of Buddhist statues, this approach holds great significance. Each statue has its own primary color, and it is crucial to depict the statue in its authentic shade. ☛ Ceramic Molding System The Manjushri has been crafted using the Ceramic mold casting process, a modern approach that provides an alternative to traditional methods such as the lost-wax system or rubber molding. Also referred to as ceramic molding, this technique involves the creation of a ceramic mold to cast the statue. The process begins by making a precise and detailed wax model of the desired sculpture. The wax model is then coated with layers of ceramic material, creating a sturdy mold. Once the mold is complete, it is fired in a kiln, causing the wax to melt and escape, leaving behind a cavity that perfectly replicates the original sculpture. Molten metal is then poured into the mold, allowing it to fill the cavity and take on the desired form. Once cooled and solidified, the ceramic mold is carefully broken away, revealing the final metal statue.
