This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the iconographic example of rosary beads shows a vertical string of beads with a Christian cross hanging from the bottom.

Added Analysis: 

These beads, combined with the book that appears in the contextualizing image, makes this an element of a compound hieroglyph, but because it is not glossed, we are labeling this an iconographic example. In this collection, the cross appears more on top of churches or on the clothing of the clergy.r
