Icon - Wood - Pair of religious icons

Pair of handcrafted Greek religious icons, produced in the second half of the 20th century according to the traditional Byzantine iconographic technique. They are not simple modern prints, but accurate reproductions made by laying the serigraphed canvas on old wood panels carefully worked, with gilded backgrounds (gold leaf) and elegant craquelé that give an antique and evocative charm.

It depicts Archangel Gabriel and Mary within Byzantine architectures. 2. The Mother of God Odigitria (She Who Points the Way): Smaller Icon depicting the Virgin with the Child Jesus. On the back is the certificate of guarantee and authenticity with the wax seal of the renowned art workshop D. Zervopoulos (Meteora, Greece).
