*Kapala necklace are skulls that traditionally represented death in Tibet. Buddhists incorporated Tibetan skull beads into malas to represent the impermanence of life and the limits of human knowledge. Skull-shaped mala beads help chanters reflect upon the inevitability of death and the necessity of embracing lives filled with compassion. Traditional Tibetan skull beads are carved from yak bone to honor the beasts of burden that serve mankind and to inspire devotees to likewise serve their fellowmen.
