Tibetan solid phurba pendant from Nepal

 


 A wonderful, incredibly finely crafted piece. The phurba became Fire gilded in the traditional Nepalese way. Bronze is used as the basis for fire gilding. It comes from a shop at Durbarsquare in Patan, Nepal. The processing is very clean, fine and rich in detail.

Great detail, the spearhead comes out of a dragon's mouth. Traditionally, the phurba ends with a horse's head, which is used here as an eyelet. The eyelet is small, it fits a leather strap up to 3mm thick. If desired, we will be happy to add one to you, in which case write to us!

 

Dimensions: 6.4cm long, 1.4 cm wide

 

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

It is used to ward off demonic forces - meaning demons, illnesses, psychic forces.

In Tibetan rituals, the shape of a demon is formed from fruits. There is purification through prayer, protection through putting on a ritual robe, 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 calling out 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).
