Introducing an exquisite and spiritually-charged artifact, the Tibetan Necromancer Mask. Crafted with intricate artistry and cultural symbolism, this contemporary headwear piece is truly captivating. Imbued with a rich history, this mask is hand-carved from a human skull, representing a unique fusion of Hindu and Buddhist traditions.
These remarkable masks are crafted using skulls sourced from “sky burial” sites—a revered Tibetan burial custom known as “Jhator.” In this ancient ritual, the bodies of departed monks are dismembered and offered to nature, strewn across open grounds as a form of alms to avian creatures. This practice carries profound religious significance, embodying the cycle of Samsara—birth, existence, and the inevitable return to the spiritual realm.
Employed during Tantric ceremonies, these necromancer masks serve as a conduit for invoking the spirits of the departed. The intricate imagery and symbolism carved into each mask resonate with the energies of the beyond, amplifying the spiritual connection between the living and the deceased.
