About the icon
The Myrrh-Gusher & Great Martyr
A young officer of Thessaloniki, Demetrios was martyred under the emperor Maximian for preaching Christ, and his young disciple Nestor went on to defeat the gladiator Lyaios in his name. The great basilica built over his tomb became the heart of the city's faith, and fragrant myrrh flowed from his relics. Icons show him young and beardless, often in armour. His feast on 26 October is the city's great feast day. In this Silver Relief the icon is presented in gold-plated silver relief on a panel.
This is an authentic Silver Plated artwork with Gold details, crafted according to Byzantine technique and style. The theme is reproduced using Advanced Museum Standards Technique.
Once the wood panel is cut to the desired dimensions, our skilled craftsmen meticulously apply the printed theme on the prepared surface and then the Silver Plating, resulting to an exquisite work of art.
At the back of the icon, a mounting point is installed, accompanied by our Certificate of Authenticity and Quality. At the small sized icons a stand is also available. All of our artworks bear the studio’s distinctive title and logo.
A thorough quality inspection takes place before we secure the package with durable protective materials to ensure safe delivery.
Each icon is made to order. Once your order is ready to ship, you will receive the retail receipt and the tracking information via email.
