Kapala Wanted- Tantric Tibetian Skull

I'm interested in a Kapala- a full Tibetan tantric skull, used for Buddhist rituals. Is there a collector here, based in England, from whom I can buy one at a reasonable price? The ones on the internet are obscenely expensive for no apparent reason, and I don't trust most of them to be real and not resin fakes. If you have one you could sell, send me photos and we shall discuss it. Thanks!

 

WOW.....good luck with that !!!

 

Or monkey skulls....
I can't think of any UK members who have a genuine tantric kapala, sorry.

 

u have one to check...??

 

I do! Got it in a random box of auction items at a haunted attraction liquidation.

 

Here's a couple of images of the monkey skull. I looked closely to see if it might be resin, but it is so covered with metal fittings and dark stain it's hard to tell. I'm pretty sure it is real bone.

 

..and cat hair...

 

golly gee willikers......that's not something you see every day !!

Our border security found a human brain in a jar recently.....in the mail.....but they let it in cuz t was for research ....... i hope !!

Or it could have been Spocks Brain...

 

Check out the Haunted Barn Museum run by a guy named Joey Vento who also does tours of the World's Fair site in NYC. There is also a Facebook page called O.T.I.S. (Odd things I've seen).

 

Earl is in England, so he needs to find one locally. Importing one from the US will probably land him in jail.

 

Perhaps Imported by a politician

 

Thanks for the heads-up Once corona virus will be over, we may as well be in touch

 

Uh-oh. Sorry if I mislead anyone, it's not for sale. Any Jewelry mentioned monkey skulls, and I was just posting to see if mine was a fake. Couldn't ship to UK any way!

 

Will this do?
