On both sides of the pestle-shaped handle are sharply-edged prongs, one in the center and four surrounding it. Hence the name “five-pronged pestle.” Among the various paraphernalia used at Esoteric Buddhist services, the five-pronged pestle symbolized the five Buddhist sects and the five kinds of Buddha’s wisdom. The intricate design of this metal work matches well with the powerful appearance of the pestle.
