19th C. Tibetan Buddhist Iron Double Dorje Rare, made of Iron. Inside the spokes are another set, creating a double dorje. I seen one other before in Chengdu for $850!! I do not know enough about it.

A double dorje is the family symbol of Amogasiddhi (one of the 5 Dhyani Buddhas), relative to ones karma. Buddha Amogasiddhi "Conqueror" has the consort Green Tara. Fearless is his gesture, his vehicle is Garuda.
The ten prongs together symbolise the ten perfections the 'ten grounds' or progressive levels of realisation of a bodhisattva; and the ten directions.
