Prayer nuts or Prayer beads (Dutch: Gebedsnoot) are very small 16th century small Gothic boxwood miniature sculptures, mostly originating from the north of today's Holland. They are typically detachable and open into halves of highly detailed and intrinsic Christian religious scenes. Their size varies between the size of a walnut and a golf ball. They are mostly the same shape, decorated with carved openwork Gothic tracery and flower-heads. Most are 2–5 cm in diameter and designed so they could be held in the palm of a hand during personal devotion or hung from necklaces or belts as fashionable accessories.

has abstract	Betnüsse oder Gebet(s)nüsse sind nuss- oder schotenförmige Kapseln, die sich in zwei Hälften aufklappen lassen und vorwiegend vom ausgehenden 15. Jahrhundert bis 1530 als Anhänger am Rosenkranz oder an einer Schmuckkette getragen wurden. Das Aufkommen von Betnüssen ging mit der Praxis des häufigeren Rosenkranzgebets im ausgehenden Mittelalter einher. Der Ursprung der Betnüsse ist ungeklärt. Aus stilkritischen und anderen Gründen ist aber eine flandrische Herkunft am ehesten denkbar. Die deutsche Bezeichnung „Betnuss“ stammt erst aus dem späten 19. Jahrhundert und ist wahrscheinlich eine Übersetzung des französischen Begriffs noix de prière.

They are mostly the same shape, decorated with carved openwork Gothic tracery and flower-heads. Most are 2–5 cm in diameter and designed so they could be held in the palm of a hand during personal devotion or hung from necklaces or belts as fashionable accessories. Prayer nuts often contain central scenes depicting episodes from the life of Mary or the Passion of Jesus. Some are single beads; more rare examples consists of up to eleven beads, including the "Chatsworth Rosary" gifted by Henry VIII to Catherine of Aragon, which is one of only two surviving boxwood rosaries. The figures are often dressed in fashionable contemporary clothing. The level of detail extends to the figure's shields, jacket buttons, and jewellery. In some instances, they contain carved inscriptions usually related to the meaning of the narrative. (en)
