Skull Mala – Fantasy Beads

$19.00

These very long malas are quite striking. They are made of water buffalo bone hand carved to look like skulls. Features a red rayon tassel.

A note about bone beads: Tibetan nomadic life is hard, and in the cold there is little to eat. Water buffalo is a main staple in Nepal and Tibet and when an animal is used for food nothing is wasted. These amazing bone beads are hand inlaid by artisans who recycle and reuse everything in daily life and spiritual practice.

Measures approximately 53-55 inches in circumference. Contains 12mm by 8mm beads. Each mala varies as the beads are a natural material carved by hand.

Truly symbolic in many parts of the world, the meaning of skulls throughout Southeast Asia represents transformation and change, whilst other times they can determine wealth, power, strength and protection. Mostly understood as a symbol of warning, the skull is often used to ward off any type of evil influence or illness. It’s philosophically viewed as the seat of intelligence, spirit and the spark of human life. Interestingly, the skull is also the remnant of the body that is the least resistant to decay – another sign of its strength as a symbol. Many cultures believe wearing skulls would insure protection and well-being.
