Guardian Face Phurba Titanium Steel Necklace

A phurba dagger with a guardian face at its crown, cast in titanium steel.

The phurba is a ritual dagger whose three-sided blade stands for cutting through ignorance, attachment and aversion. The wrathful face above the blade belongs to a protector, the fierce expression that traditional Tibetan work uses to turn harm away rather than invite it in.

It measures 64mm long and 11mm across, with the face, beads and blade cast as one piece.

Titanium steel keeps its colour and edge through daily wear, so the piece stays sharp-looking with little care.
