This is a vintage Tibetan-style mala necklace, traditionally used for meditation and daily spiritual practice.
The beads show clear signs of long-term hand use, with a naturally developed patina that reflects years of handling. Pieces like this are often collected from Himalayan regions and were previously used by practitioners, giving them a quiet, grounded presence.
Unlike standard malas, this strand is not 108 beads, but a shorter format (approximately 70–80 beads), commonly seen in personal practice or travel malas.
