This traditional 108-bead mala is crafted from hand-carved yak bone, featuring beautifully shaped lotus-style beads with petal carvings around each bead.
Each bead is approximately 12mm and carved into a rounded lotus form, symbolizing purity, spiritual awakening, and enlightenment in Buddhist tradition. The warm honey-golden tone and natural grain give the mala a deeply organic and aged appearance.
Yak bone malas have long been used in Himalayan Buddhist practice for mantra recitation, meditation, and ritual use. Over time, the beads develop a richer patina from handling, making each mala uniquely personal.
The carving shows clear handmade character — slight variations in shape, tone, and texture make every piece one of a kind.
