Ka´aba Cufflinks Gold often symbolizes powerDesigned and handmade by Sima Vizary for the British Museum Hajj 2012 Exhibition in London. These striking cufflinks represent the Kaaba when viewed from above during Hajj. The black onyx centre represents the Kaaba, itself, and the gold the surrounding crowd of pilgrims. The designer's own handwritten caligraphy reads: Mikat, Mecca, Mina, Plain of Arafat, Muzdalifa, Plain of Mina, and Mecca again, the seven stopping locations for a pilgrim on Hajj.
