Skull: White Metal, Rare, Tibetan 17th Century

Rare and unique piece of ancient Tibetan Buddhist culture from the 17th Century made of white metal - it is a rare find. It's sacred teaching is still present and powerful.

Certainly part of a large sacred statue it is apparently all that was saved from the wholesale destruction of Tibet in the 1950's. It is a symbol of the Buddhist teachings of impermanence and usually found in head pieces or as necklace. 

Size: 4.5" x3.75" x 3"
