This traditional mala prayer bead necklace is handmade in Nepal using ethically sourced water buffalo bone, symbolizing impermanence and spiritual transformation in Buddhist tradition. Each bead is hand-painted with the sacred "Om" symbol, representing the essence of the universe: past, present, and future, and the foundation of all that is sacred. The mala features 108 beads, plus 2 counter beads for tracking mantra repetitions and 3 tassels for a balanced, elegant finish. A mala is used to focus the mind and count mantras. Begin with the bead next to the “guru” bead, recite your mantra, then move to the next using your thumb. Repeat through all 108 beads. Wear it as a necklace or use it as a spiritual accessory. Drape it on a car mirror, place it on your altar, wrap it around your wrist, or display it as meaningful decor. Necklace Length: 25"Tassel Length: 2"
