FROM MADEIRA WITH LOVE....!
Found in an estate liquidationon the island of Madeirain Portugal, that of a retired antiques dealer.
Small antique Rosary made of Portuguese Silver, found in a gilded metal case.
This is a very small rosary. When laid flat with the decades doubled. it measures a tad over 12 inches.
The beads only about 1/2 the size of an aspirin. It is very light weighing only 6 Grams.
The case is like a pill box, measuring 1 3/4 Inch by 1 1/4 inch. It has a hinged lid that snaps shut.
The gilded metal case is decorated with red stones and a raised portrait of St Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower. It has darkened a bit from age.
Meant to be carried in a purse or vest pocket.I inserted a standard size playing card in one photo as a reference for size.
MUCH OBLIGED...
