This compact Tibetan-style Chitipati skull amulet is crafted from iron in traditional thokcha style. The piece features a distinctive charnel-ground skull face with a small crown-like upper element, symbolizing impermanence, protection, and spiritual awakening in Vajrayana Buddhism.
The expressive skull face reflects Chitipati imagery — a powerful tantric symbol representing the transcendence of fear and attachment. The natural dark patina with warm golden undertones enhances its aged Himalayan character.
Small yet powerful, this amulet is suitable for wearing as a pendant, adding to a mala, or keeping as a personal talisman.
