Handmade Buddhist protection bracelet from the Nepal–Tibet region, featuring a hand‑carved yak bone Garuda & Citipati skull bead on a thick red‑and‑green braided cord, accented with small brass mantra spacers.
Garuda, the fearless sky protector, and Citipati, the cemetery guardian skull, together symbolize cutting through obstacles, clearing negativity and remembering impermanence with courage and clarity.
• Origin: Traditional Himalayan artisan work from Nepal / Tibet.
• Materials: Genuine yak bone centre bead with warm natural patina; cotton or wool braided cord in deep red and green; brass‑tone mantra spacer beads and knot details.
• Design: Rounded guardian face bead (Garuda/Citipati style) sits as the central focal point, with strong braided band and sliding‑knot style back so the bracelet can be adjusted to fit most wrists.
• Size: Centre bead approx. 24 mm tall and 22mm wide (see caliper photos); inner bracelet length adjustable from roughly 16 cm to 22 cm.
• Use: Daily protection bracelet, meditation support piece or meaningful gift for lovers of Tibetan Buddhist art and skull / Garuda symbolism.
• Symbolism: Garuda represents swift protection and freedom from fear, while Citipati skull imagery reminds practitioners to stay aware of change and live with wisdom rather than attachment.
As each yak bone bead is carved and stained by hand, variations in colour, grain and small tool marks are normal and give every bracelet its own unique character.
