Description

Catholic rosary, presented here in a religious novelty version. The object consists of a series of spherical brown beads, all connected by a white braided cord, forming the classic rosary structure. The beads are regular, evenly spaced, and securely fastened by the twisted thread, which is clearly visible throughout the piece.

The terminal cross is made in the same brown shade as the beads, with a satin and smooth finish that evokes molded plastic. A relief Christ is depicted on the front of the cross, with the INRI titulus at the top, following the traditional iconography of the Catholic crucifix.

Above the cross, there is also a molded medallion, adorned with a religious motif (probably a Virgin or a saint, although the details are uncertain), consistent with the classic structure of a rosary. The ensemble offers a homogeneous, sober, and functional appearance, typical of religious objects produced for daily practice or pilgrimages.

This rosary is vintage in style, which is reflected in the choice of color, the simplicity of the molding, and the slightly patinated appearance of the surface. The ensemble has no additional decoration or metallic ornamentation, being part of a utilitarian and accessible production.

The visible side shows no brand inscription or apparent manufacturing date. The overall condition is good, with no visible chips or breaks on the beads or the cross, and the cord appears taut, with no noticeable fraying.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Some traces of use or light superficial marks may be observed, typical of a handled object, but no major alteration on the visible part.

Did you know? The rosary has been used in Catholic prayer since the Middle Ages, with each bead serving to count recited prayers, particularly the Hail Mary. Plastic models, like this one, became widespread in the 20th century due to their lightness and low cost, facilitating their distribution during pilgrimages or major religious events.
