Measuring 5 inches in total length including the robust top jump ring, this substantive piece was structurally built to be worn daily as part of a monastic or clergy habit order. **HISTORICAL & VISUAL ICONOGRAPHY** The reverse side features a beautifully preserved, highly detailed mechanical rosette stamp depicting the Sacred Heart of Jesus centered directly inside a tightly woven Crown of Thorns. This poignant pairing symbolizes Christ's ultimate sacrifice and divine love. **CRAFTSMANSHIP & MATERIALS** The framework features a durable base metal (brass/nickel-silver alloy) finished with a heavy historical silver plating. Decades of authentic handling and devotional wear have naturally softened the plating at the high-friction points, allowing a gorgeous, warm brass patina to emerge at the edges. The deep black insert is a genuine, hand-fitted ebony wood inlay secured cleanly into the channels by fine structural metal rivets. **SPECIFICATIONS** - Total Length: 5” (including top jump ring) - Origin: Germany (Unmarked, typical of regional production from this specific era) - Inlay: Genuine Black Ebony Hardwood - Metalwork: Silver-plated brass framework - Structural Condition: Excellent antique condition with tight wood-to-metal fitting. **CONDITION NOTE** This artifact is being sold in its authentic, uncleaned estate state.
