Hand-Carved Cow Bone Skull 108 Prayer Beads – Tibetan Mala

Material: Cow Bone – Earthly Connection & Spiritual Insight

This 108-bead mala is crafted from high-quality cow bone, deeply rooted in Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
Bone symbolizes our connection to the earth and serves as a reminder of impermanence, encouraging presence and non-attachment.
Each bead’s natural texture and warm hue highlight authenticity, making every mala unique.

Craftsmanship: Hand-Carved Skull Beads – Artistry with Meaning

Each bead features a meticulously hand-carved skull design, inspired by Chitipati (lords of the charnel ground) in Tibetan Buddhism.
The skulls symbolize liberation, wisdom, and courage to face life’s transience.
Artisans carve every detail — eye sockets, nasal cavities, and facial contours — ensuring precision and traditional craftsmanship.
