This hand-carved yak bone guru bead features a detailed Citipati-style skull design, a traditional motif found in Himalayan Buddhist art. The smiling skull face is carefully carved on the front, while the reverse side displays decorative script-style engraving, creating a distinctive focal bead for malas and spiritual jewelry.
Crafted from natural yak bone, this three-hole guru bead is designed for use as the central bead in a mala necklace or bracelet. The warm honey-colored patina and fine hand-carved details give the bead an aged, traditional appearance that pairs beautifully with bodhi seeds, bone beads, wood beads, or gemstone malas.
