Product description
This is an antique Italian rosary, crafted from wood and metal. The piece is a refined devotional object, gaining historical significance from the presence of a medal of Pope John XXIII.
The rosary consists of reddish-brown wooden beads, strung on a metal chain. The cross has a wooden core with a metal frame and corpus, and is marked 'ITALY' on the back, confirming its Italian origin. The medal with the effigy of Pope John XXIII places the object in a specific historical context, related to his pontificate (1958-1963).
The object is in good condition consistent with its age. The materials have developed an authentic patina, which contributes to the character and historical appearance of the rosary.
As a collector's item for lovers of religious art or as a decorative accent, this piece adds a subtle historical element to a classic or eclectic interior.
