[INDOLOGY] flutes made from human thigh bones

[patrick mccartney]

Dear Friends,

Denzil Ibbetson’s (1883, 127) report of the Punjab census mentions the
necromancy, exorcisms and magico-acrobatic displays performed by Buddhist
lámas, who also used flutes made from human thigh bones.

I'm wondering if anyone has more information about human bones used as
musical instruments.

Thanks,

Patrick
