A Bodhisattva is a person who is prepared for enlightenment before becoming a Buddha. Figures of Bodhisattvas usually appear in the company of a sitting or meditating Buddha. However, they are sometimes depicted on their own. They can be male or female. The most well-known are Avalokiteshvara, or Goddess of Mercy, and Manjusri, or Bodhisattva of Wisdom. 
 
Avalokiteshvara is the most respected and popular Bodhisattva among the Buddhist community. In China, Avalokiteshvara is generally accepted as being female and is known for her feminine qualities of mercy and generosity. She is usually depicted in the company of Amitabha. Avalokiteshvara is said to have 32 avatars. She may be portrayed with thousands of hands and eyes and many heads. She usually holds an object in hand, the most common being a lotus, a vase or a willow branch. 
 
Manjusri is usually depicted to the left of Sakyamuni. He wears a purple and gold gown and his hair is tied in a knot at the top. He usually rides on a lion and holds a green lotus in his left hand while brandishing a sword in his right.
