*Nawaem - Kuka Wood Prayer Beads, 33 Beads, 23 Grams:*
*1. Material and Confirmation:*
- *Original Kuka Wood*: The photos confirm it. You can notice the natural grain, variations in light and dark brown colors, and the matte wooden texture beneath the sheen.
- *Weight of 23 grams* is very reasonable for 33 box/cylindrical beads. Kuka wood is light, and this weight rules out plastic and Bakelite.
*2. Craftsmanship:*
- *Genuine Hand Turning*: The beads are not perfectly identical, with slight variations in size and shape. This is normal for handmade items.
- *Box/Cylindrical Cut* is common for Kuka, providing comfort in hand and a distinct sound when used for prayer.
- *Polishing (Tamlika)*: This means oil treatment and polishing, evident from the warm sheen on the wood. It gives it a longer lifespan and a darker color over time.
*3. Value:*
- For prayer and remembrance use: *120 - 200 SAR*.
- If the turning is old handmade and the wood is clean without cracks, it can reach *250 - 350 SAR*.
