The exquisite craftsmanship and imposing design emit a fierce protective aura. Upon closer inspection, one can appreciate the meticulous casting in every millimetre, as if it is showcasing its preciousness and strength to the world. Its large size further enhances its artistic impact. At the top of this pendant is a realistic horse's head, indicating its identity. Below, the three wrathful protective deities are vividly depicted, exuding a strong artistic presence. They are represented with fiery eyebrows and three round, wide-open eyes, seemingly glaring fiercely at all obstacles in the world. Their cheeks are high and bulging, their muscles are prominent and powerful, and their lips are curled in a furious snarl, revealing sharp fangs. The portrayal is extremely terrifying, sending shivers down one's spine. It is evident that these protective deities are resolute in dispelling evil and subduing demons, possessing boundless spiritual power attained through great achievements
In the middle section, the double lotus pedestal ingeniously creates a sense of spatial depth for the entire artefact. It also showcases the transparent layering of the Vajra at the centre. Below, the depiction of the Makara is meticulously sculpted, conveying a vivid and awe-inspiring presence. The intensity of their gazes seems to radiate a divine aura, perfectly complementing the sharpness of the pendant's body. The coiling snake's tail twists and descends solidly between the three-edged blade, harmonising with the dragon's head above the Vajra.
The entire pendant is crafted from purple Lima, with the bottom featuring a three-edged blade made of cold iron. While the three-edged blade has undergone natural oxidation and rusting, it can be cleaned, but the apprentice has chosen to preserve its original state. The original base for the Vajra pendant is equally exquisite, made from mineral-colored mulberry wood, and boasts unparalleled craftsmanship in its carving.
Describing this Vajra pendant as a collection-level item is certainly not an exaggeration. It is a rare find for discerning fellow practitioners. Don't miss out on this opportunity.
