Hand Etched Quan Yin Bead!
This extraordinary bead has been hand etched with 4 colors of India ink (a permanent treatment) with exquisite detail. This bone bead is drilled through the center lengthwise (see image). Both sides are the same! Quan Yin is the Goddess of Mercy and Compassion! Quan Yin stands lovingly atop the thousand petaled lotus, symbol of enlightenment, ready to dispense her mercy and love to the world's suffering people. This bead is truly unique. Don't miss out.
The material comes from domestic cow or buffalo bone; both are used as draft animals (for example, to plow muddy rice paddies) and are consumed as food. They are highly valued and are not dispatched only for their horns or bones; these have an incredibly small value compared with that of a living animal. Water buffalo and Ox bone are obtained after death, and since the cultures from which they are attained believe in utilizing the whole animal, nothing goes to waste, and thus the animal is honored more fully.
NOTE: Images do not reflect number and size. Please see detail and table for information.
