Brass pendant oriental Vajrakila, 40 x 10 mm.
Vajrakilaya is the vengeful form of the Buddha Vajrasattva. His characteristic iconographic feature is that he holds the dagger called phurba (see Kīla (Buddhism)). Indeed, the word “Vajrakilaya” denoted both the kīla, and its ritual use, and the deity.
Vajrakilaya is usually represented by three faces of different colors in a crown of skulls. The central face is blue, the left one is red and the right one is white. He also has six arms: two hold the kīla, two each hold a vajra, one holds a flaming bow, and one a trident. He crushes under his feet demons that represent the obstacles to spiritual realization.
