A phurbu (ritual dagger) and a sukunda (oil lamp), Himalaya, 20th century, 40 cm long and 18,5 cm high 

Phurbu: 
Some wear to the gilding
Presence of some knocks, nicks, surface scratches 
Some verdigris traces 
Each face bears a different colouration: one bronze, one gilded, and one seemingly with a silver mask. The silver seems to be applied over the base face, therefore surface cracking and irregularity are visible 

Oil lamp: 
Presence of some grazes, surface scratches, knocks, nicks  
Some verdigris traces 
Presence of two small holes to the neck, near the joint between the body and the front part with Ganesh 
Spoon: presence of some surface scratches, knocks
