Description
An exquisite silver & gold Greek Orthodox icon of the Holy Mandylion.
This is an exact reproduction of the antique Byzantine icon of the Holy Mandylion, preserved in one of the Monasteries of Mt. Athos in Northern Greece.
The Holy Mandylion of Edessa is believed to have been created after King Agbar of Edessa, now the Turkish city Urfa, asked an unknown painter to go to the Holy Land to paint Jesus. According to legend, the painter was unable to capture Christ’s image because he was so dazzled by the light shining from his face. Instead, Christ wiped his face on a towel after washing himself and left an image behind. When the cloth was returned to Agbar, it is believed to have cured him of leprosy.
Made of 950o proof silver and 24k gold on a selected timber frame with the painted parts of the icon painted by hand. Exact reproduction of an antique Byzantine masterpiece.
There is a wide variety of additional silver icons available. Please contact us for more information.
