Enrich your collection or interior with this monumental and spiritual Greek icon of the Madonna and Child.
This type of icon is known in the Byzantine tradition as the Axion Estin (Greek for "It is worthy"), which is also clearly inscribed in block letters on the silver embossed top (ΑΞΙΟΝ ΕΣΤΙΝ). The motif shows the Mother of God tenderly holding the child, surrounded by worshipping angels under a classic arch structure with detailed grapevines and palm motifs.
The front is almost entirely covered with a magnificent, hand-crafted silver riza (oeklad) made of very high first-grade silver (.950). Only the faces and hands of the Holy Virgin and the Christ Child are traditionally left bare and finely painted (agiography). The icon is mounted on a sleek, black wooden panel base equipped with a sturdy hanging loop. The back still contains the original certificate of authenticity that guarantees its artisanal Greek origin.
