Silver icon with Virgin Mary Three-Handed Tricherousa. Handmade silver icon on natural wood, made with 925ο silver. 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 hand-painted on canvas by specialized iconographers, according to the traditional techniques of Byzantine Iconography. 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.
Dimensions: 25 x 30 cm.
The miraculous icon of Virgin Mary Tricherousa was a family heirloom of St. John of Damascus. Till today, this icon of Virgin Mary Tricherousa is considered to be the Abbot-Patron saint of the Holy Monastery of Chilandari and protector of the Serbian Orthodox people.
