Dette er en tibetansk ni-delt vajra (en type vajra, der bruges til at undertrykke dæmoner), et centralt ritualredskab i tantrisk buddhisme.

Struktur: Vajren har ni symmetriske grene for hver ende, støbt i en tredimensionel, åbent arbejde stil, med et skarpt, spidst hoved foroven. Den centrale krop er en snævrende, kugleformet form, med to ringe øverst og nederst indlagt med håndsyede turkise fragmenter ved brug af den traditionelle tibetanske teknik 

This is a Tibetan nine-pronged vajra (a type of vajra used to subdue demons), a core ritual implement of Tantric Buddhism.

Structure: The vajra has nine symmetrical prongs at each end, cast in a three-dimensional, openwork style, with a sharp, pointed head at the top.
The central body is a constricted, spherical shape, with two rings at the top and bottom inlaid with hand-stitched turquoise fragments using the traditional Tibetan technique of "full inlay of turquoise fragments," where the fragments are pieced together and filled into copper grooves.

Material: Cast in brass, with a natural, aged patina. The brass body shows signs of oxidation and wear over time, characteristic of traditional Tibetan hand-cast artifacts.

The Tantric Meaning of the Number "Nine": The nine prongs correspond to the nine vehicles of Buddhism and represent the subjugation of nine afflictions (greed, anger, ignorance, pride, doubt, self-view, extreme views, wrong views, and attachment to views). Compared to five-pronged and three-pronged vajras, the nine-pronged vajra is a higher-level ritual implement, often used in Anuttarayoga Tantric practices.

The Vajra as a whole symbolizes:

The vajra represents Bodhicitta (the aspiration for enlightenment) and indestructible wisdom, signifying the dispelling of all inner demons and obstacles. The symmetrical prongs at both ends represent the union of compassion and wisdom, while the central jewel represents perfect non-duality.

The significance of turquoise inlay:
Turquoise is one of the "Seven Treasures" of Tibet, representing peace and purification of body, speech, and mind in Tibetan culture. Inlaying turquoise is also a hallmark decorative technique of traditional Tibetan ritual implements.

Practice and Recitation: Holding the vajra during practice, combined with mantra visualization, purifies karmic obstacles and enhances concentration.

Offering as a Display Item: Can be placed on the altar in a Buddhist shrine as a ritual implement for warding off evil, protecting the home, and bringing blessings.
