Four Saints Silver Icon ICO100A37

---

Description

---

This modern, large beautiful icon of our the Four Saints is hand-painted on a solid wood base with a silver-plated cover with incredible ornate gold and silver accents. The entire icon is overlaid with a beautifully executed, highly detailed repousse (high relief) gold and silver-plated metallic cover (also known as a "riza") with an attached 24-carat gold-plated halo. The riza uses a scrolled floral pattern to accent the subjects and covers the less important areas of the icon. This is a reproduction of a 19th century icon. These Saints were killed for Christian religious activities in Kelikia at the turn of the third century. Sts. Kosma and Damian and their brothers Leontij and Anfirm came from Arabia. Proficient in medicine, Kosma and Damian visited people in villages and towns to give them medical assistance. They propagated Christian religion with the help of their miraculous cures. Because of this, they were tortured, imprisoned, and finally beheaded. Leontij and Anfim suffered and died with them.Velvet backing. Size:12.8" x 14.8" This icon is handmade to order.
