17th Century Himalayan Bronze and Iron Phurbu
Details: A finely cast and well modeled example of a 17th century Himalayan Phurbu. The tripartite iron blade is emerging from the jaws of a ferocious makara with the grip shaped as a vajra flanked by a pair of endless knots rising to a three faced Hayagriva pommel surmounted by a half vajra finial.

Age: 17th Century.

Length: 25 cm.

Remarks: This piece is probably Tibetan, but the workmanship is probably Newari (Nepalese).
