    Ritual DAGGER called Phurbu
    Tibet
    End of the 19th century - beginning of the 20th century
    Bright patina wood and iron
    H .: 26; L .: 3.5 cm
    This shiny patina wooden dagger is composed of a short three-sided "blade", finished in a point covered with a copper alloy. Each of the sides is engraved with geometric patterns or symbols such as a fish or avian figures or even flowers.
    The handle is decorated with tiered plant motifs, surmounted by four faces. The upper part is decorated with an openwork iron sphere.
    The phurbu are linked to Buddhist beliefs. Indeed, the three sides of the blade refer to the destruction of ignorance, attachment and aversion but also to the mastery of the three times and the three worlds. These ritual daggers also had the ability to be able to nail demons.

    It retains a trace of red wax, testifying to the customs clearance to leave the country. This system of control of works was put in place in the mid-1970s.
