At its heart an \u003cstrong\u003eA\u003c\/strong\u003e and an \u003cstrong\u003eM\u003c\/strong\u003e stand interlaced, with a small cross rising from the middle stroke, set beneath a jewelled crown and flanked by scrolled panels strewn with small flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe interlaced AM is the oldest of the Marian monograms, read either as \u003cem\u003eAve Maria\u003c\/em\u003e, the angel's greeting that opens every Hail Mary, or as \u003cem\u003eAuspice Maria\u003c\/em\u003e, under Mary's protection. The crown above it is the crown of the Queen of Heaven, and the cross rising out of the letters keeps her Son at the center of her name. Because the letters are woven together the piece carries its devotion without a word of legend, which is part of why the design outlasted so many others.\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":48943626223801,"sku":"3c3-1107-B","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1107-B.png?v=1787688781","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-crowned-marian-monogram-rosary-center","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
