A hole in the back allows it to be hung on a wall or above a door as is the Tibetan tradition.

Traditionally, Tibetans often hang a yak skull above their front door for various cultural and religious reasons:

  1. Religious significance: Tibetan Buddhism is the main religion in Tibet, and it is closely related to the musk ox, also called yak in Tibetan. The yak is an important creature in Tibetan life, as it provides food, milk, wool, and leather. In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the yak skull can symbolize death and the process of rebirth. It reminds locals that life is fleeting and that they must prepare themselves spiritually for the transition to the next life.

  2. Protection against evil spirits: The yak skull is often considered a talisman of protection against evil spirits, demons and other negative influences . It is believed to act as a symbolic barrier to prevent these entities from entering the home.

  3. Connection to Nature: Tibet is a mountainous region that is difficult to access, where life is closely linked to nature. The use of yak skulls reminds Tibetans of their dependence on natural resources and strengthens their spiritual connection to the land and animals around them.

  4. Cultural tradition: Finally, hanging the yak skull above the front door is also an ancient cultural tradition in Tibet , passed down from generation to generation.
