Antique Natural Elephant Ivory Rosary
20th Century · Hand-carved Angel Skin Ivory
A rosary of exceptional weight and presence, this magnificent ivory strand is built around uniform beads of 11.5×9 mm, each one carved and polished to a warm, luminous finish. The extraordinary feature bead — a commanding 48×10 mm — is one of the largest we have encountered on a rosary of this type, giving the piece a dramatic focal point that is as beautiful as it is devotionally significant. At 79.7 g it is a substantial object, sitting with real authority in the hand. Pristine condition — no chips, no cracks — a truly impressive collector’s rosary.
