Silver icon with Jesus Christ Pantokrator. 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: 27 x 31 cm.
Icon of Jesus Christ dating to the 16th century. Jesus is hagiographed with a stern look, but his love for the faithful emanates unchanged from the whole image. According to the tradition of Christian hagiography, Jesus Pantocrator dominates the central dome of Byzantine temples and in cases where there is no dome, the image of Jesus must be hagiographed on the roof of the temple, in the center.
