Catholic Rosary – Wooden Beads with Engraved Cross – Devotional Object

Vintage Catholic rosary with wooden beads and an engraved wooden cross.

The rosary consists of small round wooden beads strung on cord and ends in a wooden cross with an engraved Christian symbol. Next to the cross hangs a small devotional medal with a portrait of Mary, made of a dark patinated metal.

Rosaries like these were traditionally used for Catholic prayers and were often sold at churches or pilgrimage sites. Due to the natural material and visible signs of wear, the piece has an authentic character.

This piece is suitable as a religious collector's item, but can also be used decoratively, for example, on a stack of old books or in a curiosity-themed interior.
