3 viewsNot sold
A Large Tibetan White Metal Phurba Ritual Dagger with Dragon and Deity Finial.
A Tibetan white metal ritual phurba, cast with a tri-sided blade emerging from a detailed makara or dragon head mount, the surface finely worked with scaled texture and curling motifs along the edges. The central grip is formed with fluted and beaded sections, culminating in a wrathful multi-faced deity finial, the expressive features framed by stylised flaming hair and small attendant heads. The blade is sharply tapered with raised central ridges and sinuous dragon relief to either side, creating a dynamic and sculptural profile.
L: Approximately 38cm
