Silver icon with Saint Barbara. 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 Barbara lived during the times of Emperor Maximianus, and she was the daughter of the rich idolater Dioscoros. From an early age she became a Christian and so she encountered great aggressiveness from her father, who was responsible for her decapitation. Saint Barbara is considered a patron saint as child protector. Saint Barbara celebrates on December 4th.
