Tibetan Buddhist Lama Antique Brass Dorje Vajra 3.5 Inches Long Sacred Ritual

Item is as advertised. I bought multiple, and one had a minor defect. I reached out and got a response very quickly. A replacement was sent out to me and I was told to keep the one with the minor defect. Great customer service.

Small, really nice solid piece.

The 'point' of a dorjay is it's symetricality as eye-grabbing an artifact as any ancient meditative-luminious object as ever has been. These are probably a dime-a-dozen on the main tourism thoroughfares of India's 'subsistence' street-vendors, which's to say a great, otherwise meaningless 'tchotchke' for culturally ignorant visitors to plunk into their children's hands. The metal which match-box cars are molded of is probably not as 'slag'-riddled, the molding seams obviously don't match-up, there are crusty pock-marks of mold-smelting failures everywhere, and they even skimped on covering it up with any brass plating coat. More like the thing was repaired by an armature welder in certain 'dove-tailing' spots, and the seller didn't care about all the 'brazen' weld-marks surrounded by bare, 'pig-metal' so long's they could sell them for any price, anywhere.So if you do ever 'tour' India, do the natives a favor: when they offer to 'sell' you for less than 15 [U.S. dollars]? Give them $5 to stop conning you, and tell them to save it for the next 'rich Westerner'--it's their version of begging for 'social services' contributions over 'pan-handling'.For the ameturely curious of curios, only.Anyone serious about having a meditation-focusing tool at-hand will most-likely be distracted by how nigh-completely irreverent this hackneyed trinket is.

Useless trinket. I guess I could make a necklace or key chain out of it.
