    Wolfgang Rolf Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

    This is a tantric buddhist skull. Wine and blood were mixed together and then drank from the skull during a ritual to bestow immortality.

    Does anyone have specific dates or location knowledge for this decorating pattern? Does anyone have knowledge on value?

    Is that a big skull or do you have small hands, Wolfgang? The decoration is Himalayan, but you probably knew that already.

    I wasn't even trying. I could show you pictures of what a sky burial is. Very graphic.
