Recycled Bone Jap Mala
A prayer mala is used as a tool to help the mind focus on meditation. It provides a much-needed anchor allowing you to keep an easy count during a mantra, in sets of 108 repetitions (108 beads). These hand made yak bone Mala are inlaid with turquoise, red glas and copper. The artisans carefully handmake every bead that is used in these beautiful Mala's. The tradition of making these beads has been passed down from generation to generation and is a skill that is not lost but could be if the younger generation of artisans don't continue it. These Malas would make a beautiful addition to a collection or for every day use. The practitioners of Tibetan Bhuddism use these religious tools on a daily basis, they are made to last a lifetime and beyond often passed down to the child or even grandchild of the original owner.
