These awesome, heavy brass mala counters are made using a mold from an antique set DharmaShop founder, Sander Cohen, owned years ago.
We recreated these detailed and bold counters as the cost of antiques in this style have been rising for years.
Mala counters like these are used to count up to 10,000 mantras on your mala.
Bell and dorje are 1 inch long. Total length of dark brown leather cord is 5 inches. Ties on with a simple knot at 21 or 27 bead placement on mala. Handmade in Kathmandu, Nepal.
These counters are top notch! I searched for about two weeks to find a set and voila. Nicely weighted, excellent patina, perfectly sized for the Miracle Mala I bought here. These are meant for larger bead malas... at least 10-12mm beads. They are nicely complemented by DS bhums. Definitely recommend.
The weight, color and feel of these counters are wonderful. The soft leather accents it so beautifully. I had wanted a pair for a long time. This set surpassed my expectations. Lovely as always...
I have a large Bodhi seed mala I've been using for years on which I do a heavy amount of mantra. Thought it was time to add some counters and these Large Antique Tibetan Mala Counters were perfect. Not only do they dress my old mala up beautifully they're also very functional. Highly recommended.
