Very massive Phurba pendant!

 


An extremely rare, handcrafted piece, I discovered it in a small forge in Kathmandu.

The material is a silver mix. The trailer is very finely and detailedly crafted, solid through and through!

 

The pendant is available in 2 sizes in my shop: 6.5 cm length and 4.5 cm length

The larger one is sold here with the dimensions: 6.5 cm long, 1.1 cm wide

 

The Phurba is a protective symbol and is used in Buddhism to ward off negative influences.

It serves to ward off demonic forces - meaning demons, illnesses, psychological forces. In Tibetan rituals, fruits are formed into the shape of a demon. Purification takes place through prayer, protection through putting on a ritual garment, and invocation of the protective deities. Then follows a longer ritual in which mantras are spoken again and again and finally the phurba is pushed into the fruit figure while proclaiming a "completion mantra". Fruits are used because fruits are carriers of life and can therefore absorb demonic forces on behalf of other life (e.g. the person seeking help).
