In 1974, with great love and respect for tradition, a small family business started making Byzantine icons entirely by hand, under the guidance of its founder. Using a special process for aging metal, wood, and icon painting, as well as top quality materials, they create unique true copies of old icons, highlighting them as unique works of art. The icon's stamped design is 3D and features intricate raised detail. The layer of silver has openings so that the hand painted face, hands and feet of the Saint are exposed. Please see more pictures for alternate views.

Icon approx. 14 cm x 18 cm (5.5 in x 7.1 in)
Made of Sterling Silver that undergoes a special "aging" process which is tarnish free.
