Japa mala 2


More skull beads made out of bone. These are larger than the previous Jama mala, and may not even be prayer beads. These are all about 1 inch around, whereas the pervious mala were all about the size of an almond. This set (assuming they were made together) was almost certainly made somewhere in Asia for the tourist/export industry, and I frequently see them in little hippy/import/antique stores all over - or at least on the East Coast. Still, they are skulls, and make a nice addition to pirate/voodoo regalia.
