This rare antique-style Tibetan ritual dagger (Phurba) is a powerful tool from Himalayan Buddhist traditions. Handcrafted from solid bronze, it features the fierce triple-faced Mahakala—a wrathful protector deity—symbolizing the transformation of negative forces.
Measuring approximately 11 inches and weighing 450g, this Phurba showcases exquisite detailing: the three wrathful faces crowned with a horsehead, and a blade shaped in a wave-like pattern representing cutting through illusion and negativity. The handle is adorned with sacred iconography, including fish and dragon scales, reflecting rich Tibetan symbolism.
Phurbas are traditionally used in Vajrayana rituals for exorcism, protection, and space purification. Whether for meditation, altar display, or as a rare collector’s piece, this dagger holds deep spiritual significance.
