Pixiu Mala Bracelet – Sandalwood & Pure Silver 990 with Om Mani Padme Hum

Description

Pixiu mala bracelet in sandalwood and pure silver 990 carries two of the most enduring symbols in Chinese and Tibetan tradition together on one wrist: the protective winged lion and the slow warmth of aged sacred wood.

The Pixiu is a mythological creature from Chinese tradition: a winged lion believed to accumulate wealth and resist releasing it, making it a potent talisman in Feng Shui practice. The mala bracelet format originates in Buddhist meditation practice across Tibet, Nepal, and India, where 108 beads correspond to 108 afflictions on the path. Sandalwood has been used in mala construction for centuries, prized in both Hindu and Buddhist traditions for its aromatic properties and its standing as a sacred wood across much of Asia.

This bracelet strings beads of Santalum album sandalwood, each approximately 8 mm in diameter, on elastic cord. The Pixiu charm is cast in pure silver 990, one of the highest purity grades available, engraved with the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum around the body of the creature. The silver carries a weight that the beads themselves do not, grounding the bracelet on the wrist. The piece fits most adult wrists without a clasp, relying on the natural stretch of the cord for a secure hold.
