Saint Nina of Georgia, Equal to the Apostles. Russian Orthodox Icon.

Size: 

#219 - S (2½" x 3" on ½" wood).  

Icons manufactured by a Russian supplier using their proprietary process of applying successive layers of color and metallic-like patterns resulting in a brilliant, detailed, and nearly three dimensional appearance.(Note: The photograph of this icon will be updated soon. Actual icons now have reflective silver/gold backgrounds and halos instead of the muted silver background color shown in this old picture).

Icon inscriptions in Church Slavonic.
