Small brass phurba #2

Small brass phurba from Nepal. Recently made. As can be seen on the pictures, the decoration of this one isn't particularly high in quality, but it is of course ready to do the work nevertheless. This phurba is relatively small in size; 9 centimeters length and 31 grams weight. A phurba in this size can easily fit in your travel-kit, be attached to your shamanic 'multi-tool' or even be worn on a cord around your neck (please note that it's not a ready-made pendant, there's no hole drilled in this one).

Design characteristics:

Pommel: a depiction of Vajrakilaya. And on top of his head, the symbol of a lotus flower, an important symbol in Tibetan Buddhism, representing (among other things) rebirth, purity, innocence, beauty, love and the transformation from darkness to light.
Blade: held by an abstract representation of the mythical watermonster Makara.
