One of a Kind Bone Monk's Mala 8 sale bracelets Size: 3/4 inches tall back

Size: 3/4 inches tall back opens to reveal an image of HH the Dalai Lama and a tiny piece of a prayer scarf

This 9 inch shell is hand decorated with silver and stones to use on an altar

You can see a lot of natural occlusions and discoloration which I find so powerful in a dzi bead

Ancient versions of these necklaces had thousands of dollars worth of trade beads- our modern version is all handmade in Nepal with faux coral beads and pressed turquoise with copal amber

A very hard to find book
