[[Image:se ral kha.jpg|thumb|A bone chest ornament; detail of a Vajrabhairava thangka, Benchen Monastery]] | |||
One of the six ornaments as worn by wrathful and semi-wrathful deities. It is imagined as made of threads and bits of bone, crossing over chest and back. On the chest these threads are held together by a wheel of bone which often has the shape of an eight-spoked dharma wheel.
