[QUOTE="ParisLS, post: 10506063, member: 91943"]Hello everyone, in general I managed to consult with many people, both museums and specialists, and I am still waiting for answers from several specialists and the museum. Everyone translates the inscription on the back as northeast and everyone says that this Phurba is from the protective circle of the Nyingma school mandala. No one has seen inscriptions on the back of similar Phurba before. Also, 4 edges of the blade are a huge rarity. Similar Phurbas have three. The body itself may belong to either Hayagriva or Vajrkilaya. Regarding the dating, everyone says that this is definitely not later than the 18th century, but they say this cautiously, but most likely the Phurba is from the 17th-16th century. This is naturally a tebet with Chinese influence. Where the hole is on the back, that is where the wings were attached. They say that the Phurba is very significant and amazing. But still, additional research is needed. P.S I personally have not found any phurba with exactly the same body that I have attached photos of, they are all somehow static, there is no plasticity, unlike mine. I am attaching photos of similar Phurbas and just sculptures. [URL]https://postimg.cc/gallery/9XfdJy6[/URL][/QUOTE]
