Artisan Craft & Sacred Origin

This is not a mass-produced item. The beads were gathered by hand in Tibet's Kham region—a land rich in Buddhist practice—around three decades ago. They were then carefully strung and adorned with hand-carved elements by artisans familiar with traditional mala-making. The citipati skull carving on the guru bead is a profound reminder of impermanence (anicca), a core Buddhist teaching. This wrist mala is a tangible piece of spiritual history, crafted with intention.
