The whole design is built around a crowned monogram: the letters A and M interlaced to form the skeleton of the piece, a beaded crown arching over them, and scrolls, small flowers and leaves filling the openwork on either side. At the middle an oval cartouche holds a small standing figure against a rayed and beaded ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe crowned \u003cstrong\u003eAM\u003c\/strong\u003e cipher stands for \u003cem\u003eAve Maria\u003c\/em\u003e, the opening words of the Hail Mary, and it is among the oldest devices used on European rosary centers, a whole prayer written in two letters and crowned as the prayer's subject is crowned. Few centers manage to say so much with so little running text, and this one holds its detail well at an inch and a quarter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rosary center was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtisan-cast from an antique original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Equatoria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48943491088569,"sku":"3c3-469-B","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-469-B.png?v=1787688725","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-ave-maria-crowned-center","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
