Tibetan Mala Carved Yak Bone Mala 108 Beads for Meditation This listing is for a carved yak bone mala 108 beads with counters. This mala was requested to me to make by one of my customers and now it is available to all shoppers. There are 108 carved bone beads on the string and each of the bead measures 8mm and has two counters. You can easily put on and off the counters, so if you don't like counters on it, you can take it off. We made it adjustable to fit most wrist size. Prayer Mala or beads are usually used by Buddhists around the world, especially in Tibet, Nepal and India and used for meditation, counting mantras, and prostration. Malas are worn on the left wrist while not in use.
