Calligraphy Wood

Are wrist malas good for anything besides jewelry?

I see wrist malas like these: http://www.traderscity.com/board/products-1/offers-to-sell-and-export-1/buddhist-calligraphy-wrist-mala-wood-prayer-beads-133373/ with 15 beads. Is there a specific meditation the 15 beads are good for, or are they mere decoration?

Buddhists use malas as counting devices. They can be used to count mantra repetitions, the number of prostrations, or anything else that is done in multiples.

Most Buddhist malas have either 27 beads or 108 beads (27x4) - ancient "sacred" numbers.
