[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10515432, member: 2844"]The books I know that are specifically about the phurba deal with the phurba cult and rituals. Of course you can find phurbas as an art form in more general books on Tibetan and/or Mongolian Buddhist art. When you said it was found in a desert area, I assumed it was excavated, and damaged as so many archaeological finds are. Did someone say it was known to have been in a specific monastery or (museum) collection? It would be nice if they had proof, or at least clues.[/QUOTE]
