What is the instrument in Manjushri's hand?

The images of Manjusri Bodhisattva are mostly with King Kong sword in the right hand and five treasures in the left hand.

Generally speaking, there is an established saying among the four famous Buddhist mountains in China, namely, the Golden Wutai, the Silver Putuo, the Copper Emei and the Tiejiuhua. Golden Wutai refers to Wutai Mountain in Shanxi, Silver Putuo refers to Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang, Copper Emei refers to Emei Mountain in Sichuan, and Tiejiuhua refers to Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui.

Wutai Mountain in Shanxi is the Dojo of Manjusri Bodhisattva, and Manjusri Bodhisattva is the first of all bodhisattvas. There is also a reason for this. According to Buddhist scriptures, Manjusri Bodhisattva used to be the teacher of countless Buddhas. It is a great pity to see the tall and iconic Manjusri Bodhisattva not far from Wutai Mountain. The statue of Manjusri Bodhisattva is mainly composed of five crowns. Manjusri Bodhisattva sits on a lion, while most statues of Buddha and Bodhisattva sit on a lotus.
