Our Classic Himalayan Wrist Mala

• One of our original designs we have been selling since 1999!  Handmade in Nepal.
• This wrist mala is made with naturally dyed yak bone beads that are inlaid with pieces of turquoise, coral, and brass.
• Bone beads allow us to reflect upon the Buddhist teachings of impermanence.  They serve as a reminder to live in the present moment; because nothing is permanent, everything is possible.

A note about bone usage:  In the Himalayas, it is typical for large animals such as yak or water buffalo to be used for service, food, clothing, and ritual items.  Given the limited amount of resources and the religious practices of the people in the region, it is important that none of the animal goes to waste.  These amazing bone beads are handcrafted by artisans who recycle and reuse everything in daily life and spiritual practice.

Adjustable wrist mala measures a little over 6.25 inches around when fully tightened and opens to about 8 inches. Beads are 10-11mm.
