Tibetan Yak Bone Barrel Bead Wrist Mala – Guanyin Head Bead for Compassion & Protection

This handcrafted Tibetan wrist mala is made from polished yak bone barrel beads, reflecting the Buddhist principle of impermanence and the transmutation of suffering into wisdom. The use of yak bone in Tibetan prayer tools is deeply symbolic — reminding practitioners of life’s fragility and the path toward compassionate action.

At its heart sits a beautifully detailed Guanyin (Chenrezig) head bead, embodying the essence of great compassion and divine watchfulness. Guanyin is known throughout the Himalayan region as a powerful protector, one who hears the cries of the world and responds with unconditional love.

This mala is not only a spiritual tool, but also a statement piece of Tibetan sacred art. Designed for everyday wear, the natural texture and warm tones of aged yak bone bring grounding energy, while the Guanyin head bead offers subtle protection and inner peace.

Perfect for meditation, yoga, or simply worn as a spiritual reminder, this wrist mala invites the presence of stillness, clarity, and compassion into your daily journey. Each piece is hand-strung in Tibet and may show small variations that make it uniquely yours.
