Antique Human Skull Kapala.
The skull cap, called a Kapala are used in Tibetan spiritual and cultural practices.
They would use these as vessels in Tibet are used in "monasteries a kapala is used symbolically to hold bread or dough cakes, and wine".
A lot of these in Tibet are mounted with silver and other ornaments.

My client got this piece years ago, being a Doctor he collected artifacts and pieces of spiritual and healing.
