Rosary bead

German

Not on view

This medallion shows the Virgin and Child on one side and a fashionably dressed saint on the other. The holes on top and bottom indicate that it was designed for a metal setting that would have allowed it to be strung. In form it closely resembles the medallion beads strung on the Rosary nearby.
