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 fine and detailed, massive through and through!
The pendant is available in 2 sizes in my shop: 6.5 cm in length and 4.5 cm in length
Here the smaller one is sold with the dimensions: 4.5 cm long, 0.9 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, diseases, psychological forces.
In Tibetan rituals, fruits are made into the shape of a demon. There is a purification through prayer, protection by putting on a ritual robe, invocation of the protective deities. This is followed by a longer ritual in which mantras are spoken again and again and at the end the phurba is thrust into the fruit figure while proclaiming a "completion mantra". Fruits are used because fruits are carriers of life and can therefore absorb the demonic forces in themselves as a substitute for other life (e.g. people seeking help).
