Icon - Nicholas the Wonderworker - Silver, Wood

Byzantine icon depicting Saint Nicholas of Myra, distinguished by exquisite high-purity silverwork (950/1000) set on a solid wooden base.

Saint Nicholas (as indicated by the Greek inscriptions on either side of the head). The Saint is depicted in a classical pose: right hand in blessing and left hand holding the finely decorated Gospel.
Workmanship: The face and hands are painted with exceptional care, creating an elegant contrast with the gleam of the silver plate. The inner frame features a complex geometric pattern, while the outer frame is enriched with relief floral motifs.
The icon is in good condition, with a beautiful natural patina that attests to the authenticity of the material and the quality of the artisanal craftsmanship.
