The Phurba is a three-sided Tibetan Buddhist ritual dagger traditinally made from brass and iron, and sometimes copper, and the
pommel is embellished with the face of a wrathful tutelary god.
Used during ceremonies to signifies stability, the Phurba is a sacred tool of exorcism believed to have the power to bind demons in
place once they have been forced to leave their human hosts. It can also purify negative energies. Only the initiated may wield
this magic blade.
