Saint Thomas Handmade Silver Icon

Silver icon with Apostle Thomas. Handmade silver icon on natural wood, made with 925^ο 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 Thomas was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus. After the Resurrection of Jesus, Thomas was distrusted everything that rest of the disciples were telling. That until Jesus appeared with the wounds occurred from the nails of His Crucifixion, when he started believing again. He died in India. Saint Thomas the Apostle celebrates on October 6th.
