Vintage red bakelite prayer beads in classic Islamic misbaha style with large rounded beads and traditional tassel. This piece has a strong amber imitation look, often associated with early phenolic resins like Bakelite or Faturan. The beads have a deep red tone and smooth glossy finish, giving them a warm vintage aesthetic. Such beads became popular in the early–mid 20th century as a durable alternative to natural amber.

The strand features large evenly shaped beads and a classic separator element, typical for traditional tesbih design. Weight is approximately 27.39 grams, making it comfortable but still solid in hand. The condition shows signs of age and use, including surface wear and patina visible in photos. This adds authenticity and vintage character to the piece.

Perfect for collectors of vintage plastics, Islamic prayer items, or unique statement beads with history.
