说明：Figures of this period are very rarely preserved with their original inscriptions or dating, let alone as a pair. Produced to flank a central Buddha figure, often riding a qilin, pairs of Puxian (Samantabhadra) and Wenshu (Manjushri) represent mainstays of the Yuan and Ming dynasty artistic canon, usually larger in size. Compare a related larger rendering of Puxian in the Avery Brundage Collection at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco (accession no. B61S65+); and a Wenshu sold in these rooms, 15th May 2026, lot 123.
