A SILVER INLAID BRASS AND IRON BON PURBHA
TIBET, CIRCA 12TH CENTURY Himalayan Art Resources item no.61956 11 1/4 in. (28.5 cm) long
注脚
西藏 約十二世紀 銅錯銀鐵尖苯教普巴杵 The purbha's surface has been worn smooth and outlines softened, from centuries of ritual handling. The Bon deity Purbha Drugse Chempa is depicted at the center, surmounted by a mythical bird and another three-faced godhead at the apex. Different from Buddhist examples where a vajra-grip is often inserted between the deity and the tripartite blade, here Purbha Drugse Chempa directly connects with the blade through a knot of immutability.
