Tibetan Skull
I own two Tibetan skulls. Both were at one time used for blood ritual. One was bought by my dad in Venice. The other was given to me by a monk in a monastery in Dege after I pointed it out as a match to the one my dad found. An artist named Benedict Carpenter does drawings based on descriptions of things. He then posts the results on the net. I submitted a description of the skull and he came back with this drawing. Surprisingly accurate considering the description.

I'm looking for information on these objects, I'm finding conflicting information on their background. I have one, and I truly cherish it.
Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. chad.sawyer@earthlink.net

I've seen them in monasteries in Nepal and Tibet during my travels and have always been told they were for blood rituals. I've also seen many similar type things in India often for sale. My guess is that there are authentic items and many knockoffs. Also judging from some of the ones I've seen in Tibet some of the Indian-made knockoffs have migrated back to Tibet to restock items lost during the cultural revolution... Just a guess, but I've seen it happen with other things like wall paintings.

I have one but I have suspicions it may not be real. Does anyone have more info on where they are from and what they were originally used for?
