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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaired 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.\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":48943517499577,"sku":"3c3-305-B","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-305-B.png?v=1787688736","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-folk-heart-with-two-doves-rosary-center","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
