Bodhi Seed Mala - Rare Smaller Size - Dark Color Tone - 9.75mm to 10.6mm - High Quality

This is a rare smaller sized Bodhi Seed Mala with a lovely deeply rich, and dark brown color. The beads are slightly trimmed and are uniform in shape. I picked up a few Bodhicitta Mala of smaller size from a dealer who only sells Bodhi Seed Malas at Boudhanath Stupa in Kathmandu. I met him again this year in early April 2025 when I returned to Nepal for Pilgrimage and Buddhist practice. This is a harder to find smaller size with such excellent color and integrity.

The height of the beads are 9.75mm to 10.6mm on average. The length of the Mala is 20.50 inches or 52.07cm from the top to the bottom of the guru bead. The distance from the top past the guru bead to the bottom of the decoration beads is 22.75 inches or 57.79cm. The mala has a very striking appearance and a strong presence. This is a high quality and beautiful Bodhi Seed mala.

The 3-Eye Bodhi Seed Guru Bead is harmoniously round at 15.5mm and is matching in color. There are 4 decoration Bodhi seeds (2 on each end-tail) that finish at the end of the mala cord. These prayer beads are laced with a single loop of yellow nylon cord with a braided sliding knot to adjust the tension of the mala.

Bodhicitta malas sized at 10mm is considered "small" and are hard to find in higher quality condition. Anything smaller than 10mm is rare to find and acquire. Additionally, this mala has consistent coloration, uniformly shaped beads, and the structure of the beads are full and complete with little-to-no damage or cracks. This is an exceptional and high quality Mala.
