Our handmade Tibetan Phurba set is 9.25 inches in height and is gold plated in 18K gold. The item was hand carved in Patan, Nepal using the traditional lost wax sculpting method. Indeed, for many centuries the Nepali artisans have been the preferred source of Tibetan ritual items for the Tibetan monasteries. As a result, the buyer can rest assured that they have purchased an authentic monastic quality Phurba set.
The Phurba has a three sided blade with each edge representing one of the three spirit worlds. In addition, the Phurba as a whole represents the world’s axis and brings together the three spirit worlds. Traditionally used as an ancient Vedic sacrificial tool, it is also regarded as a powerful weapon used to subdue negative energy and evil spirits.
Furthermore, the Tibetan word “Phurba” means a stake used for securing or a peg used for tethering a tent. This ritual Buddhist dagger or dart symbolizes the elimination of a foe or the slaying of obstacles to spiritual realization. Also, the Phurba’s unique design features the horse’s head symbolizing Hayagriva carved into the handle.
Our Tibetan Phurba set can be consecrated in Nepal before Shipping, upon request. Contact me for details by leaving a note during checkout and I will follow up with additional information involving consecration services.
