19c BAVARIAN FILIGREE ROSARY
CHAINED ROSENKRANZ
Purchased in Rothenberg Germany at an old Antique
shop in the walled city in 1996. This is a wonderful example of the larger
filigrees that has been chained instead of strung. Most filigree
rosaries we have seen have been much smaller in size.

ABOUT ENGLISH CUT BEADS
Glass beads were made to imitate semi precious
stones and were called 'English Cuts'. The facets are very uneven.
Softened glass pressed into molds to look as if they had been hand cut
and polished. Although very primitive, they had a quality and
charm of their own.
~ CREDO CROSS ~
Filigree Rosaries have a small 'Credo' Cross (Creed) before the large Filigree medallion or Crucifix at the end of the Pendant. Once the Creed has been recited or prayed, one is reminded to ask for 'an increase of faith, hope and love'.
