About the icon
The Great Martyr and Wonderworker
According to tradition, Irene was the daughter of a pagan ruler who came to believe in Christ and was baptised, choosing faith over the comforts of her father's court. She endured many torments for her confession, and through her endurance and wonders a great many came to believe. Icons show her in royal robes, holding the cross of a martyr. She is commemorated on 5 May, a name day kept by all named Eirini. In this Silver Relief the icon is presented in 999 silver with 24k gold relief on a carved panel.
This is an authentic Pure Silver artwork with 24k Gold Plating, crafted according to Byzantine technique and style.
Once the natural wood panel is cut to the desired dimensions, our skilled craftsmen meticulously apply the Pure Silver Carved theme on the prepared surface and then the 24k Gold 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. 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.
