As an important component of the Thousand-Hand Bodhisattwt statue, religious instruments show fixed subjects and patterns. A study on the religious instruments is of significance for the restoration of the statue. This paper investigates basic patterns of the instruments, and the relations between hands, eyes and instruments. The author illustrates four examples in this paper to trace the evolution of the figures, especially focusing on art characters and coloring craft.
