A mundamala, also called kapalamala or rundamala, is a garland of the severed heads and skulls of demons found in both Hindu and Tibetan Buddhist iconography. In Hinduism, the mundamala is a characteristic of fearsome aspects of the Hindu Divine Mother and the god Shiva; while in Buddhism, it is worn by wrathful deities of Tibetan Buddhism.

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related mundamala in the Museum of Buddhist Art Nongprue, Thailand.
