Sami Tokgöz Prayer Bead Collection (2-Volume Set)

Sami Tokgöz Prayer Bead Collection (2-volume set) was written by Sami Tokgöz and published by Selçuklu Municipality in 2014.

The work focuses on the art of prayer bead craftsmanship, which occupies an important place in traditional Turkish handicrafts and Islamic culture. The collection features high-resolution, detailed photographs of rare and exquisite prayer beads produced by master craftsmen. It also provides extensive information on the materials used in their production—such as amber, kuka nut, ivory, precious stones, and various woods—as well as the decorative techniques employed in their craftsmanship.

Today, the book is no longer available through direct publisher sales and is generally regarded as a rare collector’s item, often appearing in antiquarian bookshops and collectors’ auctions as a prestigious publication.
