Ebony is a kind of precious wood that is typically black or dark brown. It is solid, hard and heavy. Ebony is used to manufacture musical instruments and decorative objects. It usually comes from trees of the Diospyros genus, but the name ebony is also used to refer to other heavy wood of black colour. Ebony is so heavy that it sinks in fresh water.
Due to the natural origin of ebony wood, small cracks, fissures, or surface irregularities may be present on the beads. These characteristics do not constitute wear, defects, or signs of inferior quality. On the contrary, they are natural features of the material, fully expected in authentic ebony, and they attest to its genuineness and organic character.
Each bead is unique, featuring its own natural grain patterns, shades, and subtle characteristics, giving the komboloi individuality and authenticity. An ebony komboloi is an ideal choice for collectors and for those who seek an authentic, natural, and timeless piece of Greek handcrafted tradition.
