This handcrafted Tibetan brass mala counter set is traditionally used with 108-bead malas for mantra recitation and meditation practice in Tibetan Buddhism.
The set includes two ritual counters: one featuring a Phurba (ritual dagger) and the other a Kartika (crescent ritual knife). Both are important Buddhist ritual implements symbolizing the removal of obstacles, ignorance, attachment, and negative energies on the spiritual path. The aged brass finish and traditional black cord create a timeless Himalayan aesthetic suitable for both daily practice and collection.
Mala counters are attached to a prayer mala to keep track of extended mantra accumulations, making them both practical meditation tools and meaningful spiritual accessories.
