The Phurba is a ceremonial tool used in Tibetan rituals and is often referred to as a dagger or stake. In Tibetan, the word "Phurba" can mean a peg used for securing a tent or a stake used for tethering. Although objects with similar shapes can also be considered Phurba, it is typically a knife with three distinct segments, with the triple blade and segments representing the three spirit worlds. The Phurba as a whole serves as a symbol of the "world's axis," bringing all three worlds together.
As a Ritual Buddhist Dagger or dart, the Phurba is a powerful symbol of the destruction of obstacles or foes. Its purpose is to slay or eliminate any obstructions in the spiritual path of the practitioner. With its intricate design and rich cultural significance, the Phurba is a unique and fascinating artifact with deep roots in Tibetan spiritual practice.

Brass statues from Bali, Indonesia do not need much maintenance. The best way to maintain the statue is to simply dust the piece periodically to keep any dirt from accumulating. Bali brass is meant only to be used indoors.
You can use a natural oil, like coconut oil or olive oil and a cotton cloth to periodically wipe down the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup.
If you are really interested in making the statue shine you can use some natural oil, like coconut oil or olive oil, and a cotton rag to wipe down the metal portions of the piece. You can use a toothbrush as well to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair. This will not remove any of the natural patina on the statue.
If you have any questions concerning your brass statue please email us at [email protected] or call us at 1(760) 994-4455.
