Beautiful Tibetan mala made with beads from natural jade, in mostly green color shades with a little hint of brown/yellow here and there. A handcarved jade buddha pendant is attached to the guru bead. Also all the beads are handcarved; in most of the carvings the face of the buddha can be recognised.
Mala's such as this one are usually not worn as daily jewelry. Rather they are held in the hand during spiritual practices, where they are used as a supportive tool in keeping focus and concentration and to keep count of the number of repetitions of mantra’s or prayers.
This mala is from vintage origin and therefore might have little damages and imperfections that come with age and previous usage, most noteable of which is a bit fraying to the tassel, but overall it is still in good condition.
Sizes; approximately 30 centimeter (measured without the pendant and tassel). The buddha pendant is approximately 2,5 centimeters long and 3 centimeters wide and each bead is approximately 13-16 millimeters high and 13 millimeters wide. Total weight; 97 grams.
