Hand‑carved yak bone guru bead featuring the elephant‑headed deity Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and patron of new beginnings. This compact carving has strong facial details, swirling hair pattern, and a smooth aged bone patina, making it an ideal focal bead for a 108‑bead mala or a unique pendant for spiritual jewelry.
The bead is T‑drilled with three holes so you can attach the main mala strand and the tail or tassel in the traditional Tibetan style. Natural yak bone carries Buddhist symbolism of impermanence and compassion, and each hand‑carved piece will show individual grain, color variation, and small tool marks.
