This Tamarind Misbaha is handcrafted with an 8x11mm genuine natural Tamarind wood tree. Tamarind wood is a common name given to these beads, which comes from the dense hardwood core of a type of Tamarindus Indica which is native to tropical areas. Exceptional Craftsmanship The tamarind wood is meticulously cut into small cubes, removing the voids and cracks. These small cubes are then lathed and polished to a natural shine to get the desired bead shapes. Having a genuine tamarind tasbih means that you have a sustainable product that uses a natural material that would otherwise be discarded. These 8x11mm contoured shaped beads are skillfully crafted one by one using hand-operated small tools, adding a touch of elegance and durability. The combination of the unique character of the tamarind wood and experienced craftsmanship creates a visually stunning result, making this Tamarind Wood Misbaha not just a prayer companion, but a piece of art. Misbaha Size and Design A Tamarind Misbaha with 8x11mm beads is unique. Each tasbih is adorned with an extra 10-bead counter above the alif (aka imam) bead. The size of the dividers are 10x22 mm and the 2 dividers saucers are 5x14 mm.
