18K Solid Gold Phurba Tibetan Three-sided Vajrakila Dagger Pendant

Phur-ba, a ritual dagger used in the Tantric rites of Tibetan Buddhism to exorcise evil. The dagger has a three-sided blade and a hilt that terminates in the head of Hayagrīva (Tibetan: Rta-mgrin), the fierce protective deity identified by a horse's head in the headdress.

The Ritual dagger is essential to the dispelling of evil and understood as being especially helpful in neutralizing the forces that impede Tantric Buddhist practice. Its origins are ancient, appearing in the Indian Rg Veda as the central blade of the vajra that Indra used to slay the primordial cosmic snake Vritra. The three-headed Vajrakila Buddha is invoked through meditation on the Vajrakila Tantra, an early Indian text first propagated in Tibet in the eighth century by Padmasambhava, one of the founding masters of Tibetan Buddhism.

This Phurba is made with 18K solid gold, net weight is around 22.5g.

The eyes of the three-headed Vajrakila Buddha are also made with 18k gold. It also has two ruby beads inserted at lower side of the dagger.

Great pendant and gift for Tibetan/Indian culture lovers.
