  • This is a prayer bead strand, ( I think mala would be more appropriately used to describe a strand from Indian regions?) The beads are wooden with fine silver wire hammered into the surface.

    The word wound in relation to beads describes a glass making process...( You will see lots of it in Italy!)

     

    These hail from Mauritania

    Big love
