Stake attention in this memory
A brass or bronze ceremonial dagger (Kīla or Phurba) stands upright, its pointed end inserted into a light-toned, triangular wooden display stand, on a polished wooden surface. The dagger features intricate ornamentation: its hilt is crowned with a complex finial of multiple wrathful deity faces, with a prominent central open-mouthed face, and a ribbed grip section. The three-sided blade is adorned with relief sculptures of intertwined serpents or dragons on each face, transitioning from the hilt with a stylized mythical creature head. In the background, out of focus, a dark-framed document protected by glass displays handwritten German cursive text. The scene is located in Wüstenrot, Germany.
