Gold Leaf Thai Amulet Bead Mala

• Thai Buddhist monks traditionally create small ceramic Buddha amulets as a way to support their Wats (temples).
• These beads are made from the same clay-based amulet materials, shaped and fired by hand, then strung on durable cord for daily use.
• During traditional blessing ceremonies, the beads are lightly sprinkled with genuine 24-karat gold leaf — a symbolic offering rather than a permanent finish.

Over time and with wear, the gold naturally softens, fades, and wears away, reflecting the impermanent nature of all things. What remains is the bead itself: grounded, tactile, and marked by use — a quiet reminder that meaning deepens through practice, not preservation.

This mala measures approximately 46 inches around and contains 108, 12mm beads.
