Hayagriva, the wrathful emanation of Avalokiteshvara in Buddhist culture is a potent deity, whose divine guarding forces are condensed in this exquisitely made copper Phurba or Phurpa from Nepal. Hayagriva literally means “the horse-necked one”, and the artist has used a horse head at the top of the Phurba to depict the deity’s association with this imagery. The handle of the Phurpa has heads of Hayagriva with awe-inspiring expressions placed on it, which extends into a dragon’s mouth, from which emerges the blade.
