A striking resin kapala modelled in the form of a human skull, designed in the style of traditional ritual vessels used in Tibetan Buddhist practice.

This example features a highly decorative exterior, adorned with symbolic motifs and stylised facial detailing, giving it a strong sculptural presence.

The hinged lid opens to reveal a richly lined interior in deep purple velvet, creating a dramatic contrast against the antiqued metallic finish of the outer surface.

The form imitates the upper cranium, a design historically associated with ceremonial use, now widely appreciated for its visual impact within curated interiors and collections.

Crafted from resin, this piece offers the aesthetic of aged metalwork while remaining durable and suitable for display.

The intricate detailing throughout—from the raised borders to the expressive facial features—adds depth and character, making it a distinctive addition to any cabinet of curiosities.
