Description from the seller

San Cosme y San Damián (to the left and in the center)
Santa Ana (to the right)

San Cosme y San Damián:
They are the so-called “medical saints” or anárgiros (they healed without charging).
They usually appear:
Together
With small chests or medical instruments
Dressed in tunics and cloaks alike
Santa Ana:
Mother of the Virgin Mary
Identified by:
The white veil on the head
Her most withdrawn and maternal demeanor
Sometimes with a blessing gesture or holding a scroll
Meaning of the set:
It is no coincidence that they appear together:
The medical saints → healing of the body
Santa Ana → lineage and preparation of salvation

It is an icon with a very beautiful message: physical healing and spiritual preparation go hand in hand.

Gold background, gold leaf
Frame with a red and green border typical of Russian icons
Craquelure and authentic wear → could be quite old
Inscriptions in Cyrillic at the top.”
