The Irish Penal rosary is a one-decade rosary used in Ireland during the religious persecution between 1540 -1731. The crucifix is elongated so one can conceal it in ones hand or sleeve. The ring is placed on the thumb and moved to each finger as each decade of the rosary was prayed.

The symbols on the crucifix include:
Halo: Crown of Thorns - Hammer: Nails of the Cross - Nails: Crucifixion - Ladder: Carrying down His body from the cross. - Spear: Piercing the Side of Christ Wound - Cords: Scourging at the Pillar - Chalice: Last Supper - Rooster: Crowning & Resurrection
