A georgious ceremonial object from Tibet: this silver headdress lined with trimmings represent five human skulls decorated with flames ... At the top, another skull with a larger unique flame! This exceptional collector's item dates from the first half of the 19th century and was only worn during important Buddhist ceremonies: this type of ritual object was part of offerings supposed to chase away evil spirits!
