Full mala with 108 8mm "shaved down" beads. It is difficult to acquire beads of the same diameter, therefore most bodhi seed malas are shaved down to make beads of the same size. Many bodhi seed malas are not truly authentic and lack what is called the "phoenix eyes" or wisdom eyes, which looks like a small protrustion of an eye with the pupil having a hole in its place. This is a traditional style of bodhiseed mala that comes with the wisdom eyes.
