The central section features a vajra-style ornament, symbolizing indestructible wisdom and spiritual strength, while the detailed carvings and gemstone decorations enhance the ritual significance of the object. Traditionally held by wrathful deities, the kartika is paired with a skull cup (kapala) and represents the transformation of ordinary perception into awakened awareness.
