Two long scrolled volutes curve out to either side, a ribbed crest rises at the top, and the strapwork between them interlaces into an A and an M woven together — the old monogram for \u003cem\u003eAve Maria\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHail Mary: the first words of the angel's greeting, and the prayer the whole rosary is built on, worked here into the metal at the very join of the beads. Cast rather than engraved, the letters keep the thickness and irregularity of hand-modelled wax. The original comes from the long tradition of silver and bronze rosary work in the Philippines, and a Marian center with no figural image suits a plainer set of beads or a man's rosary.\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":48943460253881,"sku":"3c3-633-B","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-633-B.png?v=1787688720","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-ave-maria-monogram-center-philippines","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
