Massive Fine Brass Vajra/Dorje from Nepal 4 11/16in

Description

Traditional Tibetan Dorje
This Dorje is a particularly beautiful, fine handicraft made of brass, it feels great in the hand!
Translated, the Dorje means something like “thunderbolt” or “diamond scepter”. Traditionally it is viewed as a tantric energy device that can absorb cosmic energy and release it into the environment. In Feng Shui this is also used for “space cleaning”. In general, it spreads good energy; when placed horizontally in front of you, it is said to protect against bad energy.
I bought the Dorje from a Tibetan on the way up to the Swayambhunath Stupa in Kathmandu. He
was cast from brass, carefully turned and refinished by hand. Of course it is also quite massive and heavy! The Dorje has 4 spokes on each side, together they symbolize the 8-fold path.
Dimensions: Length of the dorje: 12 cm, width: 4.2 cm
