Silver icon with Saint Alexander Nevsky. 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.
Alexander Yaroslavich Nevsky was born in 1221 and served as Prince of Novgorod and other places, in really difficult times. Alexander Nevsky is considered an important figure in medieval Rus history, who preserved Russian Orthodoxy. Alexander Nevsky was canonized as a saint of the Russian Orthodox Church in 1547. His memory is honored on November 23.
