Seller: the_rosarium_collection ✉️ (505) 100%, Location: Perth, WA, AU, Ships to: WORLDWIDE, Item: 322000961683 C1920s Antique Pilgrimage Black Bakelite Oval Beads Rosary-Jerusalem. This is a circa 1920's 30's antique/vintage pilgrimage rosary to Jerusalem. It is made of black Bakelite beads, Bakelite was discovered and widely used in the 1920's and the aluminium metal used in this rosary would have been just the time when aluminium became affordable to many people. (Please read my listings on rosaries particularly with aluminium metal parts). This is a practical and very light in weight rosary to accompany your future journey to Jerusalem or just to use for your everyday prayers. Please take the time to examine the details of this antique rosary:  Crucifix: is made of antique aluminium metal. It is marked 'JERUSALEM' at the reverse side. (note: the terminology I used as 'antique aluminium' is only for the purpose of distinguishing this metal from the aluminium metal that normally are produced and used in our daily lives today). Size: 3.2cm x 2.1cm Links: are made of the typical 8-twisted link that is a trait for rosaries made around this period. These brass links have an 'aged' patina that is only achieved through time and use. This technique also seem to have allowed ample movement for these antique rosaries and surprisingly many of them have survived in this technique.  Beads: are made of black oval Bakelite beads. They are very light in weight and are durable, a testimony to it since this antique devotional item is still very much intact. Size: 8mm x 5mm. Center Medal: is made of antique aluminium in the form of the crusader's cross, this symbol is usually seen on images about the Crusades. The obverse side is marked: 'JERUSALEM'. Medal: is a scarce silvered metal and depicts on one side the Crucifixion. It is marked: SIC DEUS DELIXIT.....meaning 'For God so loved' (the world-mundum). (Latin translation for 'Sic Deus Delixit Mundum' is 'For God so loved the world'). "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." (From the New Testament: John 3:16).  The reverse side depicts the sorrowful Blessed Mother with the seven daggers in her sacred heart representing her seven sorrows.
