Five-pointed dorje / vajra made of bronze (14 cm)

This hand-forged, heavy dorje from Nepal measures around 14 cm and has a striking four-spoke shape, with each side consisting of four curved, powerfully crafted spokes. As with all traditional vajras, a fifth, straight spoke protrudes from the center, uniting the outer spokes. This central spike is symbolically regarded as the main spoke and stands for the pure, indestructible nature of the spirit. The craftsmanship with its visible traces of forging, the rough brass surface and the archaic forms give this dorje a special presence and authenticity.

In Vajrayana Buddhism, the four-plus-one structure connects two symbolic levels. The four outer spokes stand for the four immeasurable qualities - loving kindness, compassion, joy and equanimity - or also for the four cardinal points, which extend the power of awakening into all areas of life. The middle, fifth spoke embodies the center, the essence: the unshakeable clarity from which all phenomena emerge and into which they return. Together they form the complete expression of the five wisdoms of the vajra.

This dorje is traditionally used in meditations, pujas and blessing ceremonies. It serves as a powerful symbol of clarity, protection and the immutability of the inner being.
