Chain made of segmented carnelian beads and six-faced, prism-cut pieces.
The rosary is a popular Catholic tool for praying. Its form used nowadays consists of a string of 10 smaller + 1 larger bead. Three small pearl strings connects two larger beads, with a cross at its end. The Credo is pronounced at the cross, the Pater Noster at the larger beads, and prayers starting with Ave Maria at the smaller ones.
