Antique Lavender Bead Rosary with Large Caravaca-Style Brass Cross, Early 20th Century

A rosary of soft lavender beads hung with a large double-barred brass cross of Caravaca type, cast with an inscription. The double-barred cross of Caravaca de la Cruz in Spain is one of the great pilgrimage devotions, its relic cross believed delivered by angels in 1232. An unusual and striking rosary.
