Silver icon with Jesus Christ's Sacred Mandylio. Handmade silver icon on natural wood, made with 925ο silver with local 22K gold plating. 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 depicted in excellent quality and clarity silkscreen with "vivid" colors. 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.
The Sacred Mandylio is one of the lost heirlooms of the Orthodox Church. It is a piece of cloth, on which the image of the face of Jesus Christ was miraculously depicted. According to traditions, the King of Edessa Abgarus was cured by using the Mandylio.
