Lot 171: A RED CORAL BEADED PRAYER STRAND (TASBIH)

A red coral beaded strand configured as a set of prayer beads, commonly known as a tasbih or misbaha. The strand is composed of thirty-three spherical red coral beads, each approximately 7 to 8mm in diameter. The assembly includes two flat, disc-shaped coral spacer beads positioned to divide the main beads and one elongated, shaped coral terminal bead, often referred to as an imam bead. The coral exhibits a uniform deep red color with a high-polish finish and very minor natural surface characteristics. The beads are strung on a tonal pinkish-red textile cord. A small, unmarked gold-tone metal jump ring is attached to the tip of the terminal bead. No maker marks or purity hallmarks are present on the metal or coral components.

Bead count: 33 main beads, 2 spacers, 1 terminal bead.
