This lot is part of my special auction of religious items. Take a look at the others as well: who knows, you might find the piece missing from your collection or the perfect one to start a collection! On this item: Icon of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker (the Thaumaturge), hand-painted on a wooden panel and clad with a thick plaque of silvered copper, richly worked with embossing and engraving. Russia or Balkan region, first half of the 20th century. It stands out for the refined pierced halo, the meticulous decoration of the garments, and the expressiveness and gentleness of the painted face. Good condition, with authentic patina and minimal signs at the lower corners of the plaque. Overall size 18x14 cm. Note: the plaque bears decorative punches. It is silver-plated copper, not solid silver. Proper packaging and fast shipping.
