A small veiled figure of the Virgin stands on a low base with the Child close at her side, framed by an oval of vine scrollwork, five-petalled star flowers and pierced tracery, with a trefoil crest rising above her head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe center is where the eye returns at the beginning and the end of every set of mysteries, and old makers gave it their most careful modeling for exactly that reason. Because this one is pierced right through, light passes behind the Virgin and holds her clear of her frame instead of letting her sink into it. The flowers belong to the rosary itself: a rosarium is a rose garden before it is anything else, and each Ave was once counted as a rose laid at her feet. There is no lettering on the piece, and none is needed.\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":48943657484473,"sku":"3c3-29-B","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-29-B.png?v=1787688785","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-our-lady-and-the-child-rosary-center","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
