Mastic
A Historical Material of Distinctive Aesthetic Value
Mastic, also known as Sudurus, transcends the notion of a simple material; it stands as a living legend in the art of the komboloi. Originating in Persia during the period 1920–1940, this rare compound unites Eastern tradition with exceptional collectible value.
Combining the luster of old-cut amber with exceptional durability over time, it offers a unique tactile experience that captivates from the very first touch.
Distinctive Characteristics
• Unparalleled Texture | Its smooth, lustrous surface develops a deeper character through use, gradually revealing its natural glow as it “matures” in the hands of its owner.
• Solid Feel | A material with a distinctive weight and a warm touch, ideal for those who seek the inner calm offered by exceptional quality.
• Mystical Aura | During use, a subtle, warm fragrance with an oriental character gradually emerges, transforming every movement into a personal ritual.
• Deep Color Palette | From warm amber reflections to imposing burgundy and refined aubergine tones, each piece bears its own unique chromatic signature.
The Value of Authenticity
For the experienced collector, Mastic (Sudurus) is more than a material — it is a statement of identity. In komboloi of such age and character, subtle imperfections or irregularities are not considered flaws, but marks of authenticity. They form the precious “patina” of time, the signature of a history carried within each bead through decades of heritage.
Note:
Antique and old-cut komboloi may display minor imperfections or irregularities. These characteristics are expected and serve as indications of authenticity and age.
