Prayer Beads, Zodiac, Eto (Chinese Zodiac) These are prayer beads with very rare carvings of the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac. They were quite expensive when I bought them. I used to hang them on the wall as a talisman. This is a one-of-a-kind item, no price reduction. There are few artisans who carve prayer beads. For those who want them, please. They are made of wood, I forgot what kind, but it's durable.
