Hand carved yak bone skull guru bead inspired by traditional Tibetan Buddhist symbolism. The bead features a stylized skull design often associated with Chitipati or charnel ground imagery, representing impermanence and the cycle of life in Tibetan spiritual traditions.
This small guru bead is carved from natural yak bone and finished with a smooth polish. The skull face is hand painted, giving the bead a unique character. A colorful braided cord is attached, making it suitable for mala making, pendants, or spiritual jewelry.
Yak bone has long been used in Himalayan Buddhist prayer beads and ritual objects, valued for its natural material and symbolic connection to impermanence.
