- The Bodhisattva Samantabhadra is known as one of the 4 great Bodhitsattvas in Mahayana Buddhism
- He is shown lounging on the back of an elephant with 6 tusks that represent the 6 perfections or paramitas which are; wisdom, meditation, diligence, patience, eithics, and generosity with the long stem of a lotus flower growing from his palm
- The sculpture of the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra riding a elephant with 6 tusks would be the perfect book end along with Manjushri seated on a lion
The Bodhisattva Samantabhadra is one of the 4 great Bodhitsattvas in Chinese Buddhism. He is seated on the back of a white elephant that has 6 tusks. The size of the elephant reflects his ability to shoulder great responsibilities and the white color represents purity. The 6 tusks of the elephant represent the 6 Perfections or Paramitas which are; wisdom, contemplation or meditation, diligence, patience, ethics and generosity. He holds a blooming lotus flower representing purity that looks to be growing from the palm of his right hand.
"I originally mislabled this statue as Avalokiteshvara. After a visit from a monk from a temple in Riverside, California he explained to me the true identity of this Bodhisattva as Samantabhadra and the details as to why he rides an elephant with 6 tusks. He also explained the true identity of the other statue in his hands riding a lion as the Bodhisattva Manjushri. I love that I am constantly learning something new every day!"

Bronze statues from China do not need much maintenance. They are durable and strong! Most statues have black felt on the bottom of them to protect the surface they sit on. The best way to maintain the statue is to simply dust the piece periodically to keep any dirt from accumulating. These statues are mostly small and meant for indoor use.
You can use a cotton cloth to periodically go over the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup.
You can use a cotton cloth to periodically go over the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup. If you are really interested in making the statue shine you can use some natural oil, like coconut oil or olive oil, and a cotton rag to wipe down the metal portions of the piece. You can use a toothbrush as well to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair.
