The openwork is cut right through, so the design shows as much by the shapes of the gaps as by the metal itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe interlaced \u003cstrong\u003eAM\u003c\/strong\u003e is the old Marian cipher, read as \u003cem\u003eAve Maria\u003c\/em\u003e, Hail Mary, the first words of the prayer a rosary repeats fifty-three times over. The crown above it names her as the Queen of Heaven, crowned in the last of the glorious mysteries. Together they carry a whole Marian devotion without an image or a word of running text, which is why the device has been worked into rosaries, banners and vestments for centuries.\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":48943473000633,"sku":"3c3-552-WB","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-552-WB.png?v=1787688724","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-white-bronze-crowned-ave-maria-monogram-center","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
