19c 'MINE CUT' ROSARY
FROM THE COLLECTION OF WALTER
DANIELS

A wonderful 7 decade rosary with a long history. There is a small item at the bottom of this rosary that was very special to the owner. It has a history which remains a mystery. Can you guess what it may be? (is it stone or wood?) + We do not know the age of this rosary but believe it may be late 18c, early 19c.The beautiful old Garnets stand out. They are called 'Mine Cuts' and believe they were hand cut at the mine. They appear very worn and well loved in prayer. |
~ CONFIGURATION ~
7 decades of rare 'Mine Cut' Garmets with a 'Credo-Cross' above the crucifix. |

~ BEADS ~
It is interesting to see how this collection of stones, although very uneven in size and shape, take on a wonderfully delightful look of the early 'pebbles' used to count prayers by the early fathers. Note Paters are filigree. |

~ CRUCIFIX & CREDO ~
The crucifix may not be an original. It may have been added or replaced at a later date as most Filigree rosaries have a reliquary filigree cross along with the filigree beads and credo cross. Very often, the larger filigree cross is framing a porcelain crucifix image. |
