Dangling at the bottom of this beautifully crafted glass beaded rosary is Santa Muerte who holds a pearl orb and has red rhinestones for eyes. Dispersed along the strand in five groups are silver rose blossom beads in a pattern with carved skull beads with the strands joined together through a skull.

Santa Muerte, literally saint or holy death, is a folk saint popular in Mexico and the Mexican diaspora taking the form of a female grim reaper.
