The beads are usually available in profusion following Eid el Kebir, during which many many sheep are slaughtered.

The horns are dried, cut into discs and shaped, dyed with henna or saffron, and then laid onto roofs to dry, berore being lovingly massaged in olive oil to give depth and shine to the finish.

after 5 days they are polished again and strung to be sold.
