Myrrh Beads

Yes. Myrrh. As in Frankinscense and Myrrh.  6 strands of Myrrh Beads 32″ long found in the largest beads market in Western Africa, Koforidua Beads Market.  The beads are made from the sap of the  Commiphora tree.

“Both frankincense and myrrh are resins – hardened sap from trees. In both cases, trees are slashed and allowed to “bleed.” The sap that comes from the trees hardens and forms beads or “tears.” While frankincense is used for incense and myrrh is mainly used in oral preparations, they both have many more uses.  Myrrh was highly esteemed by the ancients; in the Middle East and Mediterranean regions, it was an ingredient of costly incenses, perfumes, and cosmetics and was used in medicines for local applications and in embalming.“
