Silver icon with Archangel Michael. Handmade silver icon on natural wood, made with 925ο silver. The natural wood used for the synthesis of the icon is beech (fagus) from Mount Athos, a wood that is receptive to aging techniques that give the appearance of vintage to the wood, without altering the depicted image.
The depictions of faces, hands, halos or other representations are hand-painted on canvas by specialized iconographers, according to the traditional techniques of Byzantine Iconography. The silver frame of the icon is held by nails to resemble the original icons. On the back side, the icon has a small metal ring made of horseshoe nails so that it can be hung.
Dimensions: 14 x 18 cm.
The name of Archangel Michael means "who is alike to God" and is the only Archangel from the Bible. According to traditions, he is the one, who appears in the Old Testament from the beginning of the creation of the world and the one who, by the command of God, expelled Adam and Eve from Paradise.
