The Object
Plain wooden beads, with nothing added for ornament.
Ten thousand recitations of the sutras are said to earn a measure of merit; how many times these beads have been told through, no one can count any longer.
Origin
How often their owner recited, how many days and nights he spent waiting, no one is left to answer.
The monk who once carried these beads has become something no longer human.
