Prayer Beads

A strand of 100 hard wood Mali Prayer Beads that are a dark brownish-black with a silver band strung on string  28″ long. Each bead is about 10 mm wide x 6 mm top to bottom and the hole is about 2mm … these are handmade so will vary slightly in size and shape.

‘The English word bead derives from the Old English noun bede which means a prayer. The exact origins of prayer beads remain uncertain, but their earliest use probably traces to Hindu prayers in India.’ (wikipedia)
