This striking Tibetan necklace is crafted from hand-carved deer antler skull beads and features a dramatic central crow (raven) skull pendant—each element sculpted from ethically sourced deer antler, offering the organic texture and natural tones of genuine antler. The design draws inspiration from the Citipati, guardian deities revered in Himalayan and Tibetan Buddhist traditions for their role in protecting sacred spaces and teaching impermanence. Rich red resin or wood accent beads contrast beautifully with the natural deer antler beads, creating a piece that resonates with transformation, wisdom, and protection. A substantial crow skull centerpiece (carved entirely from deer antler) makes this necklace a commanding statement piece for meditation, ritual, or as a collector’s heirloom. The necklace is completed with an adjustable hand-braided cord and brass counter beads, ensuring a comfortable fit around the neck.
