Vintage 1858-1958 Lourdes Centenary Rosary Wood Crucifix Relic Compartment For Sale

Vintage Catholic rosary commemorates the 1858-1958 centenary of the apparitions at Lourdes, France. This piece features a unique wood and metal crucifix with a visible relic or water compartment (currently empty/clear) and is marked 'Lourdes Pat Pend France' on the reverse. The chain is composed of dark brown, oval-shaped beads with a silver-tone metal center medal depicting the Virgin Mary. Showing significant age-related patina and wear to the metal components, this item is a meaningful devotional piece for collectors of religious history. Please note the broken link in the chain as shown in photos.
