The present lot includes a gilt-damascened iron kapala, cover, and century or later. The underside of the kapala is inscribed mChod dPon
stand, Tibet, 17th-18th century; a gilt- and silver-damascened iron or "shrine master" in Tibetan U-Chen script, indicating previous use in
vajra, Tibet, 17th-18th century; and an iron and bronze vajra, Tibet, 14th ritual context. It is likely that this would have been part of a large set for
exclusive use by the shrine master.
