Very beautiful vintage amber long Islamic Praying Tasbih. 100% natural amber. 24" long, and weighs 45 gr. Each round bead is approx 5 mm. The beads are semi transparent and feature a variety of hues. Tasbih (تسبيح) is a form of dhikr that involves the repetitive utterances of short sentences glorifying God, in Islam. To keep track of counting either the phalanges of the right hand or a misbaha is used. The misbaha is similar to the prayer rope of the Eastern Church and the rosary in the Roman Catholic Church.
