This Spanish (Seville) early 20th-century rosary exemplifies the union of devotion and artistry. Composed of luminous mother-of-pearl beads and a gold-plated metal crucifix, the piece reflects both the refinement of its era and the intimate role of the rosary in Catholic prayer.
Rosaries serve as meditative tools, guiding the faithful through sequences of prayers while contemplating the central mysteries of Christ’s life and the Virgin Mary’s role in salvation. Particularly striking in this example is the intricate filigree work in gilt silver, which frames the crucifix with delicate, lace-like patterns, a testament to the skill of the artisan and the value placed on sacred objects. Pearls, long associated with purity and Marian symbolism, enhance the rosary’s spiritual resonance. Objects of this kind were not only functional aids to devotion but also precious works of art, embodying faith, craftsmanship, and cultural tradition.
