Kuka misbaha, 99 Istanbul-cut beads of 8 mm

For the man who likes to feel the beads under his fingers: this 99 has 8 mm beads in the « Istanbul cut », a double cone, larger and more defined than a 6 mm misbaha's. It ends in a long imame, then a braided cord with three small beads and an end piece. Beads, imame and end piece are all kuka, with no metal part. Kuka, often called "kuka wood", is the very hard shell of a palm seed: it polishes like wood, keeps its natural veining and darkens with use. A gift for the groom, a father or a hajji, alone or with the 33. Not gold, not amber, not stone: kuka, a plant material.

Materials

Kuka (palm-seed shell, a plant material) — beads, imame and end piece; braided cord; no metal part

Finish

Polished double-cone beads, natural kuka veining; each bead differs a little

In the box

• 1 misbaha of 99 beads (imame, cord and end piece)

Care

Keep it dry: kuka does not like water or perfume poured on it. Wipe with a soft dry cloth; it darkens and takes a patina by itself with use. Do not pull on the cord.
