Silver icon with Panagia Thalassini. 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 icon depicts the Virgin Mary holding Jesus Christ in her arms. She is portrayed with a tender expression, her head gently inclined towards the Divine Child. Christ wears a light blue tunic and a reddish-orange himation. The Virgin Mary supports His body with one hand, while her other hand rests upon His hand. Panagia Thalassini wears a deep burgundy maphorion, decorated with gold embroidery, beneath which a blue tunic can be seen. Her head covering bears a small, discreet golden cross on the forehead. The upper part of the icon is adorned with two angels, one in each corner. Between them appears the inscription: “ΧΑΙΡΕ ΟΤΙ ΒΑCΤΑΖΕΙC ΤΟΝ ΒΑCΤΑΖΟΝΤΑ ΠΑΝΤΑ”, meaning: “Rejoice, for you bear Him who bears all things”, referring to God, Jesus Christ.
