Small-Leaf Red Sandalwood 108-Bead Mala

A 108-bead mala of natural red sandalwood, hand-strung, warm and fine in grain with a natural pattern. As a mala bracelet it suits all, uniting the value of wearing and handling with ethnic craft collection.

Material & Craftsmanship

Natural red sandalwood has a moderate density and a weighty feel; hand-polished and strung, the beads are round and smooth. The 108 beads follow the traditional mala form, fitted with spacer beads and a tassel in refined craftsmanship.

Cultural Meaning

The 108-bead mala derives from the traditional Buddhist counting form; it is an aid to still-minded recitation, carrying the cultural meaning of peace and tranquility, and is favoured by lovers of traditional culture.

Suitable Uses

Everyday wear, handling and patina-building, seated meditation, or as an ethnic handicraft for collection and gifting.

Care Suggestions

Avoid water and chemicals; keep hands clean before handling. Store in a cool place, away from strong sun to prevent cracking.
