This powerful necklace is hand-carved from genuine yak bone, featuring a central skull face inspired by Citipati (the Lords of the Charnel Ground), flanked by multiple fierce mask faces representing wrathful protector energy in the style of Mahakala.
The side masks wear crown-like headdresses adorned with miniature skulls, a classic motif associated with wrathful deities and guardians in Himalayan Buddhist art. Their intense expressions symbolize protection, destruction of obstacles, and spiritual القوة (power).
At the center, the skull face reflects themes of impermanence and transformation, while the surrounding figures embody fierce compassion and protective force.
Each carving is unique, with strong hand-carved details and natural bone texture, giving the piece a raw and authentic ritual aesthetic.
This is a bold statement piece for collectors, practitioners, or those drawn to Tibetan-inspired symbolic jewelry.
🌀 Symbolism • Citipati: guardians of the charnel ground, symbolizing impermanence and awakening • Mahakala: powerful protector deity, remover of obstacles and negative forces • Skull crown motifs: transcendence over ego and worldly attachment
Together, they represent the balance of death awareness and protective शक्ति (energy), making this piece both meaningful and visually striking.
