19c CARVED BONE ROSARY
with RELIQUARY CRUCIFIX
 |
|
'This is a rosary from bone. Every bead is carved in the form of a rose. The cross is of brass and you can open it. The age? Rosaries are very hard to estimate, if there is no typical sign. In my opinion it is from the 19th Century. |
~ 19 c ROSARY ~
A typical 5 decade rosary in count, chained and not strung. |
 |
|
~ RELIQUARY CRUCIFIX ~
The relics inside the cross are from St Agatha, St Bartholomai and St Sebastian. These crosses were often made by sisters (nuns) and are seldom. The center is in form of a heart and could be a sign for a brotherhood. I hope you enjoy this picture.' |
