Product Details

The Vintage Bronze Folk Heart with Two Doves Rosary Center sets two birds on the upper lobes of a broad, full heart, turned toward one another with wings and tails thrown outward. The body of the heart below them is worked all over with incised feather-like strokes, frank and slightly irregular, cut the way a village silversmith would cut them.

Paired doves are an old shorthand in Christian art for peace and for the soul at rest, and they return again and again on the ex-voto hearts of the folk tradition of Latin America, offered in thanksgiving for a healing or a safe return home. The heart beneath them is the heart of the one who prays, given over and gratefully marked. Carried at the center of a rosary the piece keeps that plain, grateful character, and its whole meaning rests in the two birds and the heart they have settled on.

The 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.

  • Made in the USA
  • Artisan-cast from an antique original
  • Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
  • Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
  • Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
  • Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
