Mauritanian Tesbih w. Tassles (silver inlaid ebony, old fossil amber, carnelian, & irridescent, faceted glass beads

wonderful! I wish I had bought one in Timbuktu, where lots of Moorish People used to live (we stayed in their house and traveled with them into the desert). Now they are in Mauritania because of the turmoils there. I have a Malian one, but it does not have the fine silverwork of the Moorish ones.

This is a real beauty, Frankie. Each of the beads are individual treasures. Great tassel too!

Thanks, Toya, I thought you might like this. It was the nearest I could find to our ideal one!

Couldn`t resist those tassles!

And such a sweet seller, Sarah. Thanks so much for finding him and the tesbih. Pronounced "tibbi" according to him!
