Tibetan ritual bone ornaments are known as rus rgyan (སྣམ་བུ). It is a bone apron with five rectangular medallions at the top that are elaborately carved with human figures. These are connected by horizontal double strands of bone beads and several smaller medallions of varying shape. Hanging vertically from this material are varying numbers of strands of bone beads which are joined and divided by 28 carved square medallions of varying size and pattern.

There are 15 tassels and 15 balls attached to the apron at the edges.
