SILVER FILIGREE ROSARIES 
By the 1700s, the silver filigree rosary from Austria and Bavaria is in greater demand. They are very elegant, with the Paternosters of filigree beads and the Ave’s in coral, crystal and other precious stones. Small reliquary boxes from pilgrimages are attached and many have unidentified pieces of wood set into the crosses.

Seven decades of Ave beads are popular. (These filigree Rosaries are still being made and sold today in Oberammergau Germany. (From the Bavarian Forest)

INCISED TECHNIQUE
Incised painting is a technique used to decorate stone surfaces. First, a channel is scratched in the stone. Then, a thick paint or stucco plaster is laid across the surface. Last, the paint is scraped off the surface of the stone, leaving paint in the incision. This technique was used in decorating the Taj Mahal.  (Wikipedia)
