Description from the seller

From my private collection.
Protective Widderschädel
Richly decorated all around with metal fittings and glass eyes.
Extremely unusual is the execution with the actual skull and the face mounted in metal on top of it.
These skulls were attached to shepherd's houses to protect against intruders and evil spirits.
Provenance: Nepal, Sherpa
Approx. 26 x 27 x 9 cm
Good age-appropriate condition

Currently no shipping to the USA.
