Silver icon with the Vine of Jesus Christ. 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.
The Presentation of the Vine depicts Jesus Christ as the trunk of the tree and around Him are the Twelve Apostles, as the branches of the vine. Jesus Christ holds in his hands the Gospel open in the text “I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener…” (John 15:1-2). Above Jesus Christ is a dove with a halo symbolizes the Holy Spirit.
