HUMAN KANGLING FEMUR
This object the Kangling belongs to the very religious tibetan lifestyle. Up untill the 1950's they were built with human parts such as fenurs or shins which previously belonged to thieves or criminals. These bones wuld then be perforated to make wind musical instruments, played by the monks during the Tantric Chod rituals. This was done so to keep away any negative spirit. The Lot can be viewed by reservation in London.
