I AM MOVING ON AND SELLING OF MY COLLECTION......PRICED TO SELL....... Offered for bids is a beautiful vintage lined chod skull bone kapala with brass dragon base. From the time when these AUTHENTIC FROM THE REQUIRED SKULL BONE ritual chod items were available in nepal, white metal lined for liquid offerings with white metal skulls all around, none are missing. This is not a tourist item made of resin, mixed resin-bone or plastic, this is a true ritual item made of the required s...kull bone. Easy way to test is with a red hot needle, stick it to the kapala and in a true bone item nothing happens, resin/plastic it will dig in with the associated smell. The kapala measures without the brass base 6.75 inches long by 5 inches wide and 2 inches deep. Please see pics on condition..... Great and unique addition to any Tibetan or Himalayan collection. A once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire such an extraordinary item. If you have any questions or need more PICS, feel free to email me. Free shipping in the United States only, International buyers do not pay until I send invoice with the shipping cost by Priority Mail international which should cost around $30-$35 (this is a guestimate and not binding, buyer will pay actual shipping cost). Before I used ebays Global Shipping Program but had issues shipping bone items with them. eBay policy prohibits the sale of human remains and requires a mandatory disclosure of what the bone is: made of yak skull bone (Bos grunniens and Bos mutus) a long-hairedbovid (cow family) found throughout the Himalaya region of southern CentralAsia, the TibetanPlateau and as far northas Mongolia and Russia. , which is NOT an endangered species and is allowed by eBay policy. They are antique sacred and devotional relics.
