This "king lang" or Kangling, a traditional Tibetan ritual trumpet, was made from a human thigh bone (femur or tibia) used in Vajrayana Buddhist Tantric and Chöd practices. This is truly one of the oldest examples I have seen on the market for years. Amazing well-worn patina.
Length: 11 1/2” (29.21cm.)
