Tibet, late 19th century, a superb oblong bronze vajra with nine prongs, the tips of which curve toward the central axis.
The carving is particularly elaborate, featuring nine finely chiseled points.
The vajra is the most important ritual implement and symbol of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, thus illustrating its spiritual power.
Its scepter-like shape adheres to very precise symbolic codes. The central sphere embodies emptiness, and the symmetrical branches symbolize the poisons of the mind, which are transformed through practice into primordial wisdom.
This sacred object holds profound significance rooted in the dual symbolism of lightning (energy that instantly destroys ignorance, the veil of illusions, and obstacles on the spiritual path) and the diamond (absolute purity).
Provenance: private collection of a connoisseur of Himalayan arts.
Dimensions: Length 20 x Diameter of spheres 5 (cm).
In good condition.
The scale reference in the last photograph is a small model of a lighter from a well-known brand.
