(For the record, Yama is not exclusively Tibetan, but we won't get into that.)The skull camera, created by Wayne Martin Belger, is actually composed of two separate cameras, one for each eye.

Yama is made from Aluminium, Titanium, Copper, Brass, Bronze Steel, Silver, Gold, Mercury with 4 Sapphires, 3 Rubies (The one at Yama’s third eye was $5000.00), Asian and American Turquoise, Sand, Blood, and 9 Opals inlayed in the Skull. The film loading system is pneumatic. A 300psi air tank in the middle of the camera powers 2 pneumatic pistons to move the film holder forward and lock it into place. The switch to open and close the film chamber is located under the jaw.

He also has a similar camera called the Third Eye, which was designed to study the beauty of decay. Definitely worth checking out.
