{"product_id":"ebony-mali-prayer-beads-elongated","title":"Ebony Mali Prayer Beads (Elongated)","description":"Striking elongated ebony beads handmade by skilled artisans using traditional aluminum inlay techniques. Each bead is carved from dark ebony wood and individually decorated with contrasting aluminum, creating bold geometric patterns against the rich natural wood. These beads are produced by the same artisans who make traditional inlaid prayer beads from Mali, reflecting a distinctive West African tradition of combining wood and metalwork.\r\n\r\nThe unusual elongated shape is hard to find and makes these beads especially well suited for use as guru or focal beads, including designs finished with a tassel for prayer beads, malas, necklaces, and other statement jewelry. Each strand measures approximately 32 inches long. Beads measure approximately 36–50mm long x 10–16mm in diameter, with a 2–3mm beading hole. Because each bead is individually handmade, variations in dimensions, shape, inlay, and finish are part of their authentic character.
