Introduction To The Kapala Set :
A Kapala set is a cup made of a human skull, frequently offered by worshipers of the fierce Tantric deities of Hindu and Buddhist. In Tibet, the skull cup is displayed on the Buddhist altar and is used to offer to the ferocious Dharmapala divinities either wine, which symbolizes blood, or dough cakes, which are shaped to resemble human eyes, ears, etc. The Kapala is fashioned from the oval upper section of a human cranium. It serves as a libation vessel for a vast number of Vajrayana deities, mostly wrathful.
