Description
This small pair of amrita and rakta kapala is ideal for a small shrine set with traditional offerings or as an amrita offering on a puja table. Each of the kapala in the set are identical, made with white metal and brass finishing.
Kapala: Skt. kapāla; Tib. ཐོད་པ་ tod-pa, a shrine should have a set of two kapala or skull cup: the left side filled with amrita (Skt. amṛta, Tib. སྨན་, men), and the right side filled with rakta (Skt. rakta, Tib. ཐོད་ཁྲག་, thod-t’hrag) – left and right are oriented towards your left and right as you face the shrine. The amrita kapala is a symbolic of the bliss of non-conceptual wisdom. The rakta kapala represents the conquering of the four maras.
