These carved skull beads are reminiscent of the necklace of skulls that the Goddess Kali wears. The skull / Mund Beads as worn by the Hindu Goddess Kali symbolises liberation, knowledge & wisdom. Goddess Kali carries a fierce love that destroys demons and the part of our ego that deceives and creates troubling thoughts. Hence freeing us from our lurking fears by giving us the strength to face the inner darkness to bring those fears to the light of consciousness.
