Handmade Bone Skull Mala Prayer Bead Necklace

This traditional mala prayer bead necklace is handmade in Nepal using ethically sourced water buffalo bone, with each bead intricately carved with a skull. In Nepalese and Tibetan culture, the skull symbolizes the impermanence of life, reminding practitioners to live mindfully and let go of attachment and ego, core teachings in Buddhism. The mala features 108 beads, the sacred number used in mantra meditation to count recitations and maintain focus. A mala is similar to a rosary and is used to enhance concentration, clarity, and spiritual awareness during meditation or prayer. With its powerful symbolism and authentic craftsmanship, this bone mala is a meaningful tool for spiritual practice or a thoughtful, culturally rich gift. Necklace Measurement 52 ", 1" Tassel
