Offered for sale as part of a collection clear-out. This is a Tibetan skull from the 1960s-80s, made using a goat skull. It is undoubtedly a genuine skull. It is a Buddhist ritual object from Nepal. This is a kapala (skull) of a Tibetan goat. Thin gold-colored metal is attached to both the front and back, glass beads are embedded in the eyes, and it is beautifully and luxuriously decorated. In Tibetan Buddhism, reincarnation is believed, and the remains are laid out for sky burial, with only specific monks keeping them as ritual objects. The head is especially valued, and it is said that opening the head releases knowledge, and drinking alcohol from the top of the head transmits knowledge and experience. After that, it is enshrined in a temple with careful decoration, including reverence. Tibetan skulls also use the skulls of monkeys and goats, in addition to human bones. This was made about 50 years ago, and new ones will probably not be available in the future. ⚠ This is a very old item. Therefore, there is a possibility that the decorations may come off during transportation. (If they come off, it may be possible to repair them using adhesive, etc.) We will sell it at a bargain price, assuming such damage. Also, because it uses part of an animal's body, there is a unique smell, although it is not that noticeable. Please purchase with no claims and no returns, only for those who understand.
