You are presented here with an exceptional Prayer Bead Strand that is entirely hand carved by a master Bead carver in the traditional Ottoman style.

Close up pictures show the main beads and separators and the very skilful carving whereby the ring is carved within the whole mass of the material thus being emprisoned by it. This is called a "captive ring"

Close up of the pictures show the beautiful shape of the beads, which, with the main bead carving are of typical old ottoman carving.

I am honored to have known these masters who work with such an art and patience and unfortunely the last of a kind.

I am also honored to be the only one who presents their work on the net
