Buddha Head Tibetan Braided Bracelet – Mindfulness & Peace

Description

A small cast figure rests at the center of tightly braided cord, its facial features detailed at close range, the whole piece sitting flush and flat against the inner wrist.

Knotted and braided cord bracelets with devotional or protective associations are a long-standing practice in Tibetan Buddhist tradition, where red or multicolored cords are given as blessings by teachers or worn as reminders of specific vows and commitments. The incorporation of a Buddha head charm into a braided string bracelet is a contemporary development within this tradition, pairing artisanal braiding with a cast devotional figure.

This bracelet is hand-braided in a traditional pattern from durable cord, with a central Buddha head charm positioned at the front of the wrist. The charm is cast in metal or metal alloy with detailed surface work on the face, ushnisha crown, and collar. A sliding knot at the back of the bracelet allows adjustment to different wrist sizes and removes the need for a metal clasp or separate fastener.

Dimensions are not listed for this item; contact the seller for exact measurements. Materials: braided cord of unspecified fiber type, cast metal or alloy charm. The sliding knot construction accommodates most adult wrist sizes. Avoid prolonged immersion in water to preserve cord condition and the surface finish of the metal charm.

Handcrafted construction means individual pieces may vary in braid tension and charm surface finish. Part of the Artisan d’Asie collection of artisan jewelry.
