FROM THE COLLECTOR
IN GERMANY

'The beads are from [carved] wood in silver shells [caps]. The three adherents contain relics. This is a typical rosary from South Germany.' CONFIGURATION - BEADS/MEDALS |
~ CONFIGURATION ~
Interesting configuration of 10 smaller beads and one larger bead. The cross is similar to those of the mid 19 c but the collector did not give us this information. (Added by the Rosary Workshop) |

~ BEADS and MEDALS ~
Close up of the beautifully carved wooden beads with 3 medals that are reliquaries holding relics of saints. Glare makes it hard to read but normally the lettering would identify the saints relics. |
