This antique-style mala is made from naturally dyed yak bone beads, carefully handcrafted by skilled artisans in the Himalayas. In the region, large animals like yaks are often utilized for food, clothing, and spiritual practices, with every part of the animal being used to minimize waste. The beads are a direct result of the recycling and reuse culture that exists in the region, making each piece unique and meaningful.
The skull symbol often found in Buddhist practices represents impermanence — a constant reminder to live fully in the present moment. Embracing the idea that nothing is permanent, this symbol encourages a mindset of acceptance and openness to the possibilities of life.
Wear it as a powerful statement piece or as a reminder of impermanence and spiritual growth. Stack it with other malas or bracelets for a layered, meaningful look.

Nice addition to my Thangka
I’m completely satisfied that I chose to add the silk frame because it sets off the sacred quality I attach to the Amitabha thangka especially well. It took a moment to decide which id choose because of the excellent selection offered!
This thangka was my first purchase from Art of Tibet and I’ve been very pleased with the quality of the art, their efficiency in producing and delivering it, and the rich addition it makes to my life. I’d recommend this line of craft and those who make it available around the globe.
Spectacular Kalachakra, shipped to protect and preserve
The mandala arrived in a thin gauge 1.5" hard plastic pipe, not a crushable cardboard tube. It was taken to an artist who's done custom framing for over 40 years. When the mandala was rolled out she was stunned by it's colors, beauty, gold highlights, detail and intricate designs in multiple (as was I) and had never seen anything like it in her 40 years. It will receive 99% UV protective, non reflecting museum quality glass with a color matched frame. She was awe struck when I explained it's basics, the wheel of time, and how what she was looking at is duplicated in 20-ft. x 20-ft. by multiple monks in sand for a ritual. She asked why the artist didn't sign it and I explained that would be a egoic act and thoroughly juxtaposed to the impermanence of all all things as the wheel of time ensures. Thank you very much for the rapid shipping and exquisite high quality Kalachakra Mandala. May all at Art Of Tibet enjoy good health and full hearts. Om, Thomas
I am more than satisfied with the beautiful craftsmanship of this mala. It has quickly become my favorite to use for teaching & practicing Kundalini yoga & gong healing. The attention to detail, handsome design, and quality of materials are even more profound than looking at the online picture.
I have so much gratitude to the artist(s) and craftsfolk of this Thangka. The colors are vivid and stunning, even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. White Tara was radiant and soothing as soon as I opened the Thangka. She is exactly the energy I've been needing to connect with during a difficult time. I would be interested in knowing the names of the artist(s) if that is permitted? I would like to dedicate merit to them as well in appreciation.
Delivery was clear, easy to track, and well communicated.
I bought this bracelet for my wife as a gift and she absolutely loves the bracelet. The product is great quality, beautiful colors, compliments her arm tattoo sleeve, and is easy to operate without any help from me in tightening it. She also loves the face she can wear it in water as does not take her bracelets off.
It is an exquisite piece of mala beads! I’m very impressed with the stones and the beauty of the colors. It feels cool when you first put in on. It means the stones are genuine. I adore it!
I am so happy with my purchase the detail is utterly sublime and shipping and customer service are second to none. Thank you so so much for your beautiful products x
I love my set of Tibetan Singing Bowls. They all sound beautiful and deliver was very quick! I will go to the Art of Tibet for my future bell or other items that I want!
I ordered a Tangka painting. The quality is excellent, even earned the compliment by a Chief Monk. The delivery was swift (only took 3 days from Nepal to Hong Kong).
