Prayer Beads

A strand of 100 hard wood Mali Prayer Beads with a copper band inset strung on string  24″ long. Each bead is about 9 mm wide x 4 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)
