About the Item
Antique Greek prayer beads, often referred to as "komboskini" or "chotki," are a form of prayer rope or string used in the Eastern Orthodox Christian tradition for counting prayers and meditating. They are typically made of strings of beads or knots and are commonly used to keep track of the number of times a particular prayer, such as the Jesus Prayer, is recited.
While the traditional color of Greek prayer beads is not typically associated with orange, they can come in various colors and materials. The color orange, if used, may symbolize different aspects of spirituality or be a personal preference. These beads serve as a tactile aid for believers during prayer and meditation, facilitating a deeper connection with their faith and a meditative focus on their spiritual journey

Japanese Edo Temple Shrine Buddhist Monk Juzu Prayer Beads Mala Rosary Necklace
Located in Studio City, CA
A very special antique collection - this long strand of Japanese hand-crafted natural wooden (perhaps Rosewood) Buddhist Juzu mala beads with customary larger "Guru" beads. These rosary-type prayer bead necklaces were often used by Buddhist monks in temple rituals and worn by Samurai as amulets of protection.
This particular piece features a wonderful, naturally organic patina acquired over years of handling and use.
Likely originates from the late Edo period (1603-1868) or early Mejia Period (1868-1912).
