Silver icon with Saints Cosmas and Damian. 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.
Saints Cosmas and Damian came from Asia. Their parents were an excellent model of Christian spouses. They offered treatment to patients without asking back for money. It is one of three pairs of saints with the same name. Saints Cosmas and Damian celebrate on July 1st and November 1st.
