HUMAN SKULLS:
The use of skulls as symbols dates back to prehistoric times when they were used in funerary rituals. Many ancient cultures believed that after death, the soul remained within the skull, making it a powerful symbol with connections to both death and the afterlife.
Throughout history, skulls have also been associated with piracy and warfare; pirates often adorned their ships with skull symbols as a way to intimidate their foes. Similarly, armies would display human skulls on poles to instil fear in their enemies during battles.
TIBETAN BUDDHISM. Skulls are used as a meditation tool to remind practitioners of life’s impermanence and cultivate detachment from material possessions.
In HINDUISM, the skull is often associated with the goddess Kali, who is often depicted wearing a necklace of severed heads or skulls called "the mundamala".
Some AFRICAN tribes, the skull is seen as a symbol of fertility and procreation. The belief is that the skull represents both birth and death.
In BUDDHISM, the skulls instead of meaning loss or death, it shows the vital Buddhist symbol of emptiness, that in this culture, emptiness is the quality of the universe.
