perfect damaru; must have the skull of a boy born in the horse year (rta lo), who has died of a natural death at the age of sixteen and a skull a of girl born in the pig year (phag lo), who died at the age of fourteen of a natural death. The male skull represents Hayagriva (rta mgrin) and the female skull Vajra yogini (rdo rje phag mo).
