Actually I would disagree Ian. This is a religious weapon with supernatural powers.
Here is my example that is similar to one sold years ago on Czernys. Mine is made of silver, copper, lapis azule, turquoise, coral, and glass. As I said, these were not only used for ritually pinning down demons, but they were also used to vanquish them too. Ornate ones like this were also used as devotional meditative objects. Often it is paired with the bell. Some ornate ones are now coming out of China for sale but the quality is lower. |

Hello Jose,
These ornate silver ones never have been in use, they are modern art work. Regards, Detlef |

As opposed to other antique, museum pieces that have many confirmed kills of big nasty demons in their portfolio. Last edited by mariusgmioc; 16th April 2024 at 10:02 AM. |

Yes, they are modern art pieces and not relevant to the culture there. And the silver is an alloy with low silver content. Real ones from wood, iron and brass. Regards, Detlef |
