This intricately cast bronze phurbu—ritual dagger—embodies the spiritual potency and sculptural finesse of 18th-century Nepalese Buddhist art. The upper finial takes the form of a stylized vajra, symbolizing indestructible truth and spiritual clarity. Below, a trio of wrathful faces with furrowed brows and flaming hair project fierce guardian energy, their expressions designed to repel malevolent forces. The tapered blade transitions into flanged, speared prongs, signifying the transmutation of negativity. Detailed with incised bands and layered relief, the phurbu served as a tantric implement in Tibetan Buddhist ceremonies, channeling transformative intent through gesture and form.
