This striking wrist mala features 15 solid iron skull beads inspired by Tibetan charnel‑ground (shītálín) practice, symbolising impermanence, fearlessness and protection.
Each bead is about 10mm with a rounded skull shape, deep eye sockets and aged silver‑grey patina, hand‑strung on red cord with a matching guru bead and tassel for traditional Buddhist style.
The inner circumference is roughly 8.5 inches, comfortable for wrists around 8-8.5 inches as a slightly loose bracelet.
Worn alone or stacked with other malas, this piece works both as a daily reminder of practice and as a bold statement bracelet.
