It has the power to cut through illusions and exorcise negative energies. Extremely powerful ritual tools used most often by Tibetan lamas. This important piece is skillfully carved from a solid wood. The patina can demonstrate the age of the piece. It can be dated to middle 19th Century.

Excellent condition with some age wears.
