Summary[edit]

Description
English: Bird Skull Pink Smelt. Sold by the Chinese on Ebay as brand new however upon closer inspection it appears to be someone's sacred religious item that may have been stolen from them, and definitely had seen some use before being sold to me. Probably from Tibetan-Qiang area in Sichuan and/or Yunnan (southwestern) China where such crystal has been made for thousands of years. Relatively more recent in origin within the last 200 years. Prior to the modern age these birds were depicted more as birds and a variety of species, but as time went on they became raven-like and skulls.
