Very old Buddhist phurbu showing an important patina of wear. The summit shows three faces of deities, the central part is a miniaturized and remarkably carved square dorgi. The triangular tip is capped by an imposing mouth of Makara polished by a long use. On two sides one can see a snake escaping from Makara's mouth, but unlike shamanic phurbus, the snake's head is directed towards the tip of the phurbu. The back side of the tip shows a pair of stylized snakes that join the master mantra "OM" H 23 cm possibly 18 to 19 th
