Description from the seller
A phurba (also called kīla or purba) is a ritual three-bladed dagger that is central to Tibetan Buddhist ceremonies, particularly in the Vajrayana tradition. It is not a weapon, but a spiritual instrument.
Three-bladed tip: Symbolizes the cutting through of the three poisons (attachment, aversion, and ignorance)
Ritual use: Used to "pin down" negative energies and create protective spaces during ceremonies
The object is in good used condition with signs of age. (See photos)
