AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Buddhist PHURBU symbolizes the Buddhist incarnation of the deity Vajrakilaya. Grips vary in design and depict a range of divine beings. The three-sided blade represents ignorance, greed, and aggression.
Kila's were sacred objects, so they were not used as weapons.
Phurbu is used in both meditation and ritual.
