People of Africa express themselves through adornment of the body. My African and Turkish heritage inspired these prayer bead sculptures for the home. The recycled glass beads are from Ghana and the 'silver' anchor bead is from Ethiopia. The cord is silk and the tassel cotton. They are the rosary, the mala, the tesbih and komboloi ‘worry bead’, our common talisman. Place it where you will see it, for its energy to permeate. Display it on a table just so or on a tray or a beautiful book. A rich ornament of beauty and power.
