Recently made iron phurba's from Nepal, painted with brass and copper colored details. With a handy, somewhat smaller size and weight.
Design characteristics:
Pommel: the skeleton face of a Citipati, which is part of the (especially) vajrayana Buddhist imagery. Citipati are associated with the cemeteries and charnel grounds and represent profound lessons about mortality, impermanence, the cycle of life and death, and freedom from samsara. More about the intriguing symbolism of the Citipati can be found elsewhere in our webshop (simply search on the word 'Citipati'). Handle: a dorje symbol. Blade: plain, without any decoration or symbolism.
These phurba's have a length of 17,5 centimeters and weigh 91 grams. There are two available. We will handpick one at random for you.
Read more about the design symbolism and usage of the phurba in the general description of the webshop-collection "Ritual Attributes; Phurba's".
