Men's Prayer Beads, Carved Arhat, Longan Bodhi Seed, Burmese Jade Finish, Limited Edition

Men's Prayer Beads, Carved Arhat, Longan Bodhi Seed, Burmese Jade Finish, Limited Edition

For those seeking a rosary with intricate, high-level craftsmanship, this piece pairs delicate arhat carvings with precious Burmese jade. The main beads are carved with the likeness of an arhat – a term referring to the highest rank of enlightenment in Buddhist tradition – with a level of detail achieved only through exceptional carving skill, crafted from longan (dragon-eye) bodhi seed, a rare variant of bodhi seed marked with distinctive dark patterning long believed to represent the universe and, by extension, the world of the Buddha, giving the material a deeply mystical quality. The Burmese jade used for the remaining beads is renowned for its exceptional natural quality, and has been a familiar material in Japan since the Jomon period, historically used for items such as magatama beads. Only one piece is available.
