From the Cleveland Museum of Art record

Large-size Buddhist paintings dated to the Joseon period (1392–1910) were once hung behind Buddhist statues, attached to the wall. In the Buddhist pantheon of the Joseon period, Bodhisattva Manjusri appears as a deity attendant to Vairocana Buddha. Bodhisattva Manjusri is holding a ruyi scepter to represent ultimate wisdom.
