I like them a lot.
What sizes are those? Do you sell one by one or all together? What price are they?
Hi Harald, thank you. If you can contact me via the messaging system, I'll happily provide all of the info you would like.

they were used for health too, if someone is ill, they put them on his chest and take a long cord with knots . between a knot and another is one hand distance and read some prayer
