Subject:Searching for an authentic Kapala, Kangling, and Damaru from reputable dealer
Posted By: Michael R. Sat, Mar 02, 2019 IP: 69.170.80.110

Hello all! I am trying desperately to find the following spiritual artifacts.
Does anyone know a reputable dealer where I might find these:

Kapala (skull cup)
- Genuine human bone (as opposed to resin, wood, copper, any other material, or any other animal)
- 18th, 19th century or earlier (very early 1900’s is still okay)
- Tibetan, Nepalese, or Bhutanese origin
- PREFERABLY full-skull, but also interested in skull-cap
Kangling (“leg-flute”)
- Genuine human bone (as opposed to resin, wood, copper, any other material, or any other animal)
- 18th, 19th century or earlier (very early 1900’s is still okay)
- Tibetan, Nepalese, or Bhutanese origin
- decorated, engraved, or gilt
Damaru (2-headed drum)
- Genuine human bone double skull-caps (as opposed to resin, wood, copper, any other material, or any other animal)
- 18th, 19th century or earlier (very early 1900’s is still okay)
- Tibetan, Nepalese, or Bhutanese origin

Preferably the seller might have historical information on it (location, age, etc.)

Thank you so very much for any help anyone might have to offer.

With sincere thanks,
Michael R.
