Silver icon with Saint Philip. 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.
Saint Philip was descended from Galilee and was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus. The Lord chose him as His disciple and he brought Nathanael with him. He proclaimed the Gospel to the Parthians and martyred in Hierapolis of Syria. Saint Philip celebrates on November 14th.
