A Kapala is a cup made from a human skull and is used in both Hindu Tantra and Buddhist Tantra as a ritual implement. Tibetan skullcups are known for their ornate carving and are often mounted with elaborate gems and precious metals. They are used in Tibetan monasteries to hold bread or dough cakes, torma, and wine in place of blood and flesh. The offerings are to potent gods like Dharmapala (“defender of the faith”), and the Karpala is often depicted being carried by many deities of the Vajrayana in both Hindu and Buddhist religious imagery.
