The Uniqueness of the Virgin Mary of the Seven Swords

A particularly rare depiction of the Virgin Mary of the Seven Swords. This pendant portrays the Virgin Mary with three swords on each shoulder and a seventh piercing her heart from below, symbolizing her immense sorrow for all she endured, especially for the loss of her only Son.
