| Reverse description | A finely detailed high-relief depiction of Manjushri Bodhisattva (文殊菩萨) seated in regal posture atop a crouching lion, rendered in the style of the sculptural traditions associated with the Riwo Tsenga temple on Mount Wutai. The bodhisattva is shown in elaborate robes and regalia, with a serene expression and one hand raised in a mudra gesture. Decorative cloud and flame motifs fill the surrounding field, evoking celestial grandeur. A vertical Chinese inscription identifying the subject appears to the left of the central figure. The denomination 20元 is inscribed in the lower field. |
