Wooden Phurba | Buddhist Phurba | Tantrik Phurba | Tibetan Phurba | For Sale

This beautifully hand-carved wooden phurba (also known as kila) is crafted from a single piece of wood - no joints, no attached parts, entirely sculpted from one solid block. It measures 9 inches in length and carries a rich, aged patina consistent with genuine hand use in ritual settings across the Himalayas.

The phurba is a sacred ceremonial dagger used in Tibetan Buddhist and Bon shamanic traditions. Rather than a weapon for physical harm, it is a symbolic tool believed to \"pin down\" and transform negative forces, obstacles, and the three root poisons of the mind - ignorance, attachment, and aversion.

Three-faced deity head at the top, representing wrathful and peaceful aspects of transformation
Intricately carved knot (naga/serpent binding) motif at the neck , Vase-shaped (kalasha) middle section with vertical fluted carving symbolizing the body\'s central channel Triangular blade with swirling naga/makara carvings, tapering to a sharp point.

This piece shows visible age, wear, and a smoky, weathered surface typical of ritual objects that have traveled through Himalayan hands over the years -making it a compelling addition for collectors of Himalayan folk art, practitioners, or anyone drawn to authentic tantric craft.
