A wonderfully unusual antique memento mori rosary, featuring dark beads, an aged metal chain, ornate crucifix and a small carved skull symbolizing remembrance of mortality.
The beautifully aged construction and devotional details give this rosary an unmistakable antique character. A fascinating piece for collectors of antique religious objects, memento mori, Gothic curiosities and Victorian era devotional art.
Circa 1880–1910. Material of the carved skull has not been professionally tested.
