This small Tibetan-style bead is hand-carved from yak bone, featuring a Citipati (skeleton) motif on the front and a mantra carving on the back (Om Mani Padme Hum).
The carving shows fine details despite its small size, with natural variations in the bone that give each piece a unique character. The recessed areas are highlighted with darker tones, enhancing the contrast of the design.
In Himalayan tradition, skull imagery can symbolize impermanence and transformation, while the mantra is widely associated with compassion and mindfulness.
This piece can be used as a mala bead, pendant, or small amulet.
