Bidspirit auction | A Large Tibetan Bronze Ritual

A Large Tibetan Bronze Ritual Phurba With Wrathful Deity And Zoomorphic Finial. Of elongated tri-sided form, the bronze phurba is surmounted by a finely cast wrathful deity head with bulging eyes, pronounced brows, and bared fangs, flanked by circular ear ornaments and crowned with a series of small projecting elements. Above rises a stylised zoomorphic finial. The handle is formed with openwork prongs and ribbed knopped sections, leading to a sharply tapering blade. The blade emerges from a zoomorphic head, with a sinuous serpent rendered in relief descending along the central ridge. The reverse continues the linear form with corresponding detailing. H: Approximately 71.5cm (incl. stand)
