Heavy Hand-Inlaid Silver Work & 925 Sterling Tassel Kuka Bead-Koka Misbaha

A remarkable handcrafted kuka prayer bead strand, richly decorated from end to end with individually hand-inlaid silver details. What makes this piece especially impressive is the amount of traditional silver work covering the beads and imame. The tiny silver elements are hand-inlaid one by one rather than machine applied, creating an intricate geometric pattern across virtually the entire surface. The warm reddish-brown tone of the aged kuka provides a beautiful contrast against the silver decoration. The substantial tassel was specially made for this tesbih and is crafted from 925 sterling silver. Its multiple braided chains, ornamental fittings and traditional details give the piece an exceptionally rich and imposing appearance. Because of the extensive silver inlay and the heavy sterling silver tassel, this is a noticeably substantial tesbih in the hand — approximately 71.61 g (2.53 oz) total weight. The silver tassel alone weighs approximately 19.90 g (0.70 oz).
