Set Of 8 Tibetan Ritual Skulls Carved From Bone

A striking collection of eight finely carved yak bone skulls, inspired by the ritual iconography and spiritual symbolism of the Tibetan and Himalayan Buddhist traditions, likely part of a former ritual crown.

Each piece is meticulously crafted, featuring well-defined anatomical details, ornamental engravings, and a beautiful patina that enhances its antique appearance.
In Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, the skull occupies a significant place in ritual imagery: as a symbol of the impermanence and transience of existence, it evokes the overcoming of attachment to the material world and spiritual transformation. Similar motifs appear in ritual crowns and ornaments associated with Himalayan religious practices.

Dated to the 20th century
