11" Phurpa Brass Statue from Nepal

This 11-inch phurpa from Nepal is a hand cast brass ritual dagger with the distinctive three-sided blade and ornate handle characteristic of Tibetan Buddhist practice. The tapered form rises with ceremonial presence, designed to embody the piercing of ignorance and delusion in meditation and tantric ritual. Cast as a single unified piece, the phurpa shows the metalworker's control of form from the pointed tip through the carefully proportioned handle.

Hand cast in brass, this phurpa carries the weight and balance of a working ritual object rather than a wall hanging. At just over half a kilogram, it holds well in hand and commands attention on a shrine, altar, or dedicated spiritual space. The finish develops its own character with time and use, deepening with handling.
