Rosary of Floris van Egmond and Margaretha van Glymes
Not on view
This rosary is every bit as sophisticated as the rosary of Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon, also in the exhibition. The individual beads link New Testament stories, images of the apostles, and lines from the Apostles’ Creed with stories, prophets, and texts from Hebrew Scripture. Each bead is marked on the bottom with a letter of the alphabet, which ensures their proper sequence. The inscriptions are carved with particular skill, and the texts weave in and out of the multiple facets of each bead.
The original owners can be identified by a motto—sans faulte (without fault)—and a coat of arms, both carved on the ring at the top. They refer to a Dutch noble couple: Count Floris van Egmond (died 1539), chamberlain to Philip the Handsome, and his wife Margaretha van Glymes (died 1551). Because the motto and arms are only on the ring, it is not clear whether they ordered the rosary or simply asked the carver to personalize the ring at the point of sale.
