What do you use these for?

What prayer are these used for?

My first thought was a Saint Anne chaplet but then it has a cross rather than a medal at the end.
What does the medal actually have on, it’s hard to see in the picture?

A picture of Mary.

In that case I’d say it’s probably a chaplet for praying the rosary. I have a similar one with only one decade - sometimes short little chaplets like this are used because they are easier for people to carry around if they wish to pray the rosary when out and about.

 

[Lucky10279]

But it only has three decades on it.

I have a rosary with only one decade, it’s easier to keep in my bag than a full rosary. Though it could be a Crown of Our Lord chaplet actually. From what I can find they have three decades. rosaryandchaplets.com/chaplets/crown_of_our_lord_prayer.html

I do not think that this is correct though. They have a different number of beads then needed unless some are for glory be’s and some are not used. Thanks anyway though!

That is the same chaplet.

It’s a 3 decade Rosary and the text beneath the picture indicates it’s for convenience of those who travel. So maybe yours is just a mini-Rosary meant to be conveniently carried. But what I don’t understand is why not just one decade??

 

[Lucky10279]

But it has 11 beads in the decades.

Oh. Never mind. I have no idea, then.

Did I offend you? I’m sorry if I did. I did not mean to.

Here is another picture of it. The decades have 11 beads and the part at the bottom has 5 or 6 or seven.

Hmmmm…I see three sets of beads, light color. I seem to see, between the sets of 7 beeads, what may be one large and two small beads, color green.

Can you give us an exact description of this chaplet…order of beads, number of beads, color of beads, and size.:ehh:

 

[PerfectTiming]

I’m wondering if perhaps the little beads on the decades are just intermediary one rather than actually counted?
Where did you get the rosary - did it come with any packaging that might give an indication?

 

[Lucky10279]

It is yellow, orange and black. I think it is a chaplet. There is a Mary medal on it. On the back of the medal it says “Pray for us”.

It has big beads between the decades. It also has a big bead at the bottom. Some of the beads might not be used.

I got it as a gift, and it came in a little purple bag.

If I had to guess the “decades” would have 5 beads (looks like 5 large beads with a couple of spacer beads) and the start has one.

Chaplets are not my thing so I cant be of further help, but those are my observations, for whatever that is worth

I count 5 big beads and small beads in between. So it is 5 beads, the small beads are meant to separate the big beads. I have not seen this kind of rosary.

Check this link for different chaplets…it could be one for these:
