This is a 16.5 inch linear Pater Noster. It is made with 20 6mm jet beads strung on black rayon cord. The 3 markers are shaped coral beads (dyed red) They are spaced from the pater noster beads with real sterling bead spacers. On each end of this short pater noster is a silver-toned bead and a handmade wool tassel. The Pater Noster is the forerunner of the modern Rosary. The loose string allowed one to move beads forward as each recitation of The Lord's Prayer (Our Father... or "Pater Noster" in Latin) was said. The Pater Noster was used as an aid to prayer during the Middle Ages and early Renaissance. This set was made for a re-enactment group, and then never used. A semi-precious stone set such as this might have been used by a lower member of the nobility or the church hierarchy. Jet was especially cherished for Pater Nosters, as it was lightweight and warm to the touch.I have several sets in various materials, and will continue to bring out different sets occasionally. Although these specialty prayer beads were made with historical priorities in mind, they also are easily used for their original spiritual purposes. A copy of the Pater Noster in Latin is included with this set.Shipping and Handling costs to U S addressed will be covered by me, so they are free to you.
