Interlaced scrolls form a small shield whose strapwork reads as an A and an M, the monogram of \u003cem\u003eAve Maria\u003c\/em\u003e, and a fluted crown sits above it, the crown of the Queen of Heaven. The whole piece is pierced through, so light passes behind the letters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat cipher is one of the oldest Marian devices in Christian art, worked into rosaries, banners and vestments for centuries because it says the first two words of the Hail Mary without an image or a line of text. The crown above names her as she is hailed at the close of the rosary, crowned in the fifth glorious mystery. Openwork on this scale was made for delicate rosaries where a larger center would sit heavily, which makes it a natural choice for a child's set.\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":48943459893433,"sku":"3c3-629-B","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-629-B.png?v=1787688721","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-little-ave-maria-crown-rosary-center","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
