The Akshamala is a garland of pearls, bones, dried seeds, berries, and even skulls. In general, an Akshamala is composed of around fifty beads, corresponding to the characters of the Sanskrit alphabet. But in some cases, it may be composed of 81 or 108 beads, both of which are significant numbers in Hinduism. Given this, Brosway must have drawn inspiration from this jewel also used by Buddhist monks if he named this collection Tibet. The bracelets, in fact, recall the traditional necklace worn by Buddhists and Hindus.
