Description from the seller
High-quality religious icon, refined faithful reproduction of traditional Byzantine hagiographic art. The work depicts Theotokos (Mother of God) with the Child Jesus in a moment of deep tenderness, a classical iconography known as Glykophilousa.
Materials: The icon features a riza (cover) in solid 950 silver, finely repoussé with ornamental motifs of grape clusters and grape leaves, Eucharistic symbols of great significance. The details are enriched with 24K gold finishes.
• Technique: The faces and hands are rendered using the traditional iconography technique, with warm colors that create a harmonious contrast with the shine of the precious metal.
• Stand: Mounted on an elegant glossy black lacquered wooden stand, equipped with a rear hook for display.
• Certification: On the back, the original warranty certificate attesting to the artisanal workmanship in Greece ("Hand Made in Greece"), the purity of the silver, and conformity to the canons of Byzantine art.
• Inscriptions: The Greek digrams MP ΘΥ (Mētēr Theoû - Mother of God) and IC XC (Iēsous Christos - Jesus Christ) are present.
