Historically, using skull shape for beads and other ritual items in Tibetan Buddhism and Hinduism is common practice. In the old Tibet of past, Yogis and Practitioners used real bones from throwaway animals such as yaks as it was a more accessible resource. Skull shapes and bones are seen as useful visual aids for reflecting and meditating on impermanence and death.

The skull signifies that death is a fact and the closer that we can relate to death and embrace it the sooner we can start living with love and compassion and realizing that in this cyclic existence death will come when it is time...live life and embrace death. Acceptance is key to the inevitable passing of time and body.
