A fine Chinese Qing dynasty ritual phurba (dagger) carved from agarwood, featuring a horse-head finial atop a three-faced deity head, followed by stacked vajra ornaments and a makara-headed blade. The entire piece is supported by an intricately carved cloud-patterned base. Measuring 13 x 10 x 53 cm, the work showcases the wood’s rich dark patina and fine grain, exemplifying the meticulous craftsmanship of Tibetan Buddhist ritual implements and embodying powerful spiritual symbolism of protection and purification.
