Five-pointed dorje / vajra made of bronze (11 cm)

This hand-forged dorje from Nepal measures around 11 cm and features the classic structure with four curved outer spokes that converge towards the front, while a fifth, straight main spoke runs through the middle. This combination of four dynamic, outward-opening spokes and a centering inner spoke is one of the oldest vajra forms in the Himalayan region. The curved arms appear powerful and organic, while the central spike concentrates the energy. The middle section is emphasized by a round sphere and a lotus-like decorated disc element, giving the piece a harmonious, symmetrical balance. The slightly irregular surface with visible traces of filing and forging clearly shows the traditional Nepalese craftsmanship.

Symbolically, this dorje combines two levels: The four outer spokes stand for the four immeasurable qualities - loving kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity - or alternatively for the four cardinal points, which radiate the effective power of awakening into all areas of existence. The central fifth spoke is considered the heart of the vajra and represents the unchanging, clear nature of the mind. Together they form the complete expression of the Buddha's five wisdoms.

With its compact size, this dorje is ideal for personal meditation, pujas and blessing rituals. It sits comfortably in the hand and its clear design language makes it appear simple, powerful and authentic.
