Subject:Copper Phurba with bent point
Posted By: Gakusei Thu, Jan 28, 2016 IP: 85.16.231.77
I have bought this phurba (phurpa, phurbu, phurpu) most likely made of copper recently in Singapore in a flea market. It stuck among other items in a vessel filled with sand.
The length is 17 cm and the weight is 296 grams.
I was fascinated by the craftmanship. It looks as if the copper metal was carved like wood. I hope it can be clearly seen on the pictures.
What is puzzling me is the bent point.This must be the original condition IMHO but I cannot find a similar phurba on Web sites, however.
May I kindly ask for opinions in our forum. Any comment is most welcome.
