The Skull Mala Bracelet and ala necklace are a type of Buddhist mala that originated in Tibet long ago. These malas help us to contemplate the meaning of life and death during our meditation practices. And even help us to develop a better understanding of the nature of life.
In Tibetan culture, skull-shaped beads that are carved from animal bone possess a very special meaning. They are symbolic of honoring the beasts of burden, which have served mankind. And because of this, they are often used as a way to teach us how to better serve our fellow neighbors.
This Skull Mala Bracelet is a one-of-a-kind item sourced directly from Tibet. Each of the beads were laboriously hand-carved from Tibetan deer antler into small skull beads and then strung on durable stretchy cord.
