- Tibet: Buddhist Art
- Tibetan Silver, Copper, Brass Four-Headed Phurba
|
This Tibetan phurba is made from Tibetan silver, copper, and brass. Traditionally, a phurba was a dagger used to tame demonic influences. The blade on the tip of the phurba is blunt, because the phurba's symbolic meaning is significant and it is not used as a weapon. The phurba has a triple blade that meets in the middle, and the three blades represent cutting through three root poisons which are ignorance, desire, and hatred. This phurba can be used as a talisman to protect you from your unwanted desires and the demons in your life. This Tibetan silver, copper, and brass phurba is 8.25 inches long.
