Artisan Crafted Ceramic Rosary Wall Art

Roxana de Papadopolo incorporates the artistic traditions of the Achi people in the design of this 10-bead decorative rosary. The ceramic beads and cross are crafted by hand and finished with a wax obtained from the nij insect. The dark brown hand-strung rosary is adorned with pinewood and glass beads as well as with burgundy cotton tassels.
