Kapala rituale nepalese, a one‑of‑a‑kind Nepalese metal ritual cup sculpture, 88 cm high, 14 cm wide, 18 cm deep.
Description from the seller
Splendid Nepalese ritual Kapala, finely crafted in various metal alloys with high-quality embossed work. The cup, supported by a decorated triangular base, is topped with a vajra, a symbol of indestructibility and spiritual enlightenment. The surface features floral motifs and scrolls, reminiscent of the lotus of purity, and a band of stylized skulls, symbolizing the transience of the ego and inner transformation.
In Tantra, this type of object was used as a ritual tool for visualization and offering, where the practitioner's spiritual energy was channeled through the symbolism of skulls and the vajra. The very shape of the Kapala evokes the concept of a container of knowledge and vital force.
A unique piece that combines art, spirituality, and traditional craftsmanship, perfect for collectors of Eastern ritual objects and enthusiasts of tantric symbolism.
The metalworking is rich and detailed: every relief, skull, and floral motif is hand-chiseled and shaped, with a natural patina that enhances depth and relief. The triangular base and the protective side figures give the object a monumental appearance, making it perfect as a collectible piece or a prestigious decorative element.
Origin: purchased directly in Nepal from a private collection.
Conditions: perfect, with no cracks or repairs.
Authentic piece for ritual use, not a tourist replica.
Signed certificate of authenticity included.
Selected and imported by Home of the Black Lotus, a company specializing in the importation of authentic ritual art and elite sacred objects.
Shipping: professional packaging, traceable and fully insured with UPS saver.
