AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Tibetan ritual phurba (phurpa/kīla).
Tibetan ritual phurba (phurpa/kīla) - a three-faced ritual dagger-object that is central to Tibetan Buddhist practices.
Features I can see:
Garuda figure at the top: The mythical bird with outstretched wings and a crown, that overcomes negative energies
Three-edged 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: Phurbas 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.
This object can be shipped together with other items of mine in this auction so you only pay shipping costs once.
