Men's Prayer Beads, Antique Starry Moon Bodhi Seed, Arhat Carving — Delicate Carving Meets Translucent Brown Crystal

For those who want prayer beads with fine, delicate carving, we recommend this rare piece featuring Arhat carving alongside a brown crystal Parent Bead. The Arhat carving on each bead requires an exceptionally high level of carving skill to achieve such delicacy. Its name comes from "Arhat," referring to the highest rank of spiritual attainment in Buddhism. The material, Starry Moon Bodhi seed, is named for the countless small black spots on its white surface, likened to stars in the night sky, with a single larger spot from where the seed was picked from its stem likened to the moon. Many people have felt something mysterious in these beads over the years. Since each Arhat carving is done entirely by hand, no two beads are exactly alike. The combination with brown crystal in the Parent Bead has also been very well received. Highly recommended for anyone seeking prayer beads with unusual, distinctive carving.
