AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Tibetan ritual phurba (phurpa/kīla).
Tibetan ritual phurba (phurpa/kīla) - a three-sided ritual dagger-like object central to Tibetan Buddhist practices.
Characteristics I notice:
Garuda figure on top: The mythical bird with spread wings and crown, overcoming negative energies
Three-sided blade: The characteristic triangular shape symbolizes breaking through the three poisons (desire, hatred, ignorance)
Indicates age and authentic finish
Compact dimensions: Suitable for personal altar use or ritual practice
Function & meaning: Phurba are used in tantric rituals to "pin down" negative energies and purify spaces. The Garuda symbolizes protection and spiritual power.
The phurba is in good used condition with signs of aging. (See photos)
Very finely detailed.
Carefully packed and insured shipping.
Weight: 320 grams.
