A finely hand-carved deer antler bead depicting Bodhidharma (Daruma / Damo Patriarch), the revered Buddhist monk traditionally associated with Zen Buddhism.
This carved piece features a calm yet powerful facial expression, with elongated ears, a prominent beard, and a simple rounded head form that gives the bead a striking spiritual character. The carving has a warm natural tone with beautiful organic grain and subtle variation unique to deer antler.
Bodhidharma is widely respected as a symbol of meditation, discipline, perseverance, and spiritual strength. This bead can be used as a guru bead, mala focal bead, pendant, or special amulet component in handmade spiritual jewelry.
Each piece shows natural differences in tone, texture, and grain, which add to its individuality and handmade character.
