| P'ur-pa II Pencil/PaintShop Pro/Photoshop A quick sketch, plus Photoshop tinkering, of one of the Tibetan daggers in my collection. Quoted from the American Museum of Natural History: "The p'ur-bu is a triangular-bladed 'magic' dagger used for stabbing demons and exorcising evil. It belongs to the most esoteric level of Buddhist practice. P'ur-pa is a deified form of the dagger." |
