This hand‑carved yak bone guru bead is made from a natural yak joint section and designed to be the main “teacher bead” at the end of a 108‑bead mala. The front shows a fierce cemetery guardian skull face with bulging eyes and a wide grinning mouth, while the top keeps the double‑tooth joint form like a crown. The back is decorated with mantra‑style dots and symbolic markings, turning the bead into a protective talisman as well as a functional connector. It is drilled vertically so you can string it as the central guru bead above a tassel or charm. Warm yellow‑brown bone tones and natural grain give it an aged ritual look that will appeal to Tibetan Buddhist practitioners, skull‑theme collectors, and dark boho jewelry makers.
