Assessment
Reliability Tier1
The holding museum's own catalogue record for the accessioned object, the strongest available record for its culture, period, medium, dimensions and accession number, independently corroborated by the English Wikipedia article on Manjushri confirming his standard youthful iconographic type and his Kathmandu Valley association.
