Shitro Lord Bone Bracelet: Tibetan Handcarved Goat Horn Mala with Yak Bone Skull Accents

Design & Spiritual Symbolism
Rooted in the iconography of Tibetan Shitro (Charnel Ground Lords), this bracelet draws from the spiritual austerity and wildness of cemetery practices. Designed in two distinct styles—Peace Plaque with Tassel and Bone Die with Guru Bead—this piece channels the rugged essence of Tibetan wilderness practice.

The Shitro Lord, a symbolic figure found in Tibetan spiritual culture, represents awareness of death and impermanence, reminding the wearer to cherish time and avoid spiritual complacency. His presence on your wrist is not just aesthetic—it's a companion in contemplative life.

Materials & Craftsmanship

• Natural Highland Goat Horn Beads (16mm or 18mm): Rich in keratin fibers, these beads exhibit a smooth, jade-like luster, with subtle veins of red or black streaks. Due to natural horn structure, fiber textures may appear in carved areas that cannot be polished—this is a signature of authenticity.

• Tibetan Yak Bone Accents: Featuring hand-carved skulls, bone dice, and Shitro Lord motifs, the bone elements offer a vintage character, with textures like bone grain, age spots, and natural fissures developing a patina over time.

• Adjustable Braided Cotton Cord: Designed in a handwoven Tibetan style, the durable cotton cord features a pull-adjustable closure, allowing a custom fit while maintaining a traditional aesthetic.

Two distinctive design options:

1. Peace Plaque with Tassel: Symbolizing serenity in chaos, available in standard (16mm) and oversized (18mm) wrist sizes.

2. Bone Die with Guru Bead: Featuring a more traditional ritual style, ideal for meditative handling and rugged daily wear.

Sacred Aesthetics of Decay
This bracelet embraces the raw truth of natural materials—expect to see bone pores, fiber veins, and weathered cracks. These are not flaws, but signs of genuine organic life. As you wear and oil the piece, these textures will soften, revealing a warm, burnished glow.

Natural goat horn and yak bone may have a light musky scent upon first wear due to their origin. This naturally fades with use, or can be aired out overnight in a dry, ventilated area.

Fit & Customization

• 16mm Peace Plaque Style: Default fit for standard male wrist

• 18mm Oversized Edition: Suitable for larger wrists

Each piece is individually hand-strung with slight size variations due to artisanal methods. Please allow for minor natural differences that make each bracelet truly one-of-a-kind.

Care & Maintenance

• Bone and horn enjoy oily contact—you may rub with your hands or apply a light layer of mala oil during early use.

• Keep away from prolonged moisture or heat exposure.

• If not worn regularly, store in a cool, shaded place and oil occasionally to avoid cracking.

• A spare cord is included with each bracelet. We also offer lifetime restringing services at cost—reach out to us anytime.

Why This Matters
This is more than an accessory—it's a reminder of life’s transience, a token of spiritual discipline, and a tribute to Tibetan cemetery symbolism. Whether you wear it for personal growth, ritual meditation, or as a talisman, the Shitro Lord Bone Bracelet offers a daily encounter with the sacred and impermanent.
