<p>[QUOTE="Vintage Maven, post: 1592148, member: 11768"]This is a Nun’s habit rosary that features some carved black wooden beads, a medal of Virgin Mary, and a rare Skull & Bones Crucifix. The rosary’s hanging length is about 37 inches. The whole crucifix, with a wood inset cross, is about 2 1/2 inches wide, and 5 1/4 in length. This absolutely beautiful rosary crucifix is thought to be of early 1900’s origin, but we will be cautious, and say first half of the 1900’s, but it is certainly known that the very important symbolism of the skull and bones was used from the 1800’s till around the 1940’s, although less common at the mentioned later end of that timeframe. The Virgin Mary medal is thought to be of newer vintage. Regardless, I absolutely love it❤️ To have this is an honour. This actually belonged to a Sister. ❤️Maven</p><p><br /></p><p>*if anyone has some thoughts etc on it, certainly please feel free to comment.
