"The task of killing a vampire was extremely serious,and historical accounts suggest the need for certain techniques and tools,” said Charles Hanson, owner of Hansons Auctioneers, which sold the box. “The Luli believed that objects of religious significance, such as crucifixes and Bibles, warded off these monsters, which is why they are included in the set.”
The set once belonged to Lord Haley (1872–1969), a British aristocrat and administrator in colonial India.
