These 11” vintage Santa Muerte rosaries were personally sourced in Mexico by Ed Calderon and Eddie Dennis, selected for their restrained construction, natural materials, and clear signs of age and devotional use.
This rosary features small black beads hand-strung on cord, interrupted by aged cylindrical spacer elements that show oxidation and surface wear consistent with older devotional pieces. The layout is simple and utilitarian, reflecting rosaries made for use rather than ornament.
The rosary is finished with a weathered Santa Muerte pendant, heavily patinated with softened edges and surface erosion from time and handling. The pendant’s worn appearance and uneven texture confirm this piece is not a modern reproduction, but a traditionally used devotional object.
At 11” in length, this rosary is well suited for personal altar placement, carrying, or discreet devotional use, offering presence without excess.
