Icon of "The Holy Brothers Apostles - Andrew the First Called, and Peter the Rock" written in acrylics and 24K leaf on an edge glued board with oak reinforcing on the back, set in a hand made maple frame that is also gilded in 24K gold leaf, measuring ca. 18.5" x 14.5" x 5/8" (not counting the frame.)
The model for this icon is the original icon presented by Athenagoras the Patriarch of Constantinople to Pope Paul VI on the occasion of Paul's visit to the Holy Land. You can find this image on the internet, and then note the unique details of my icon, i.e. the framing, lettering and colors I chose. The square knot, crosses, and expanded lettering are unique. This is not a copy, this is an original, and as such it's protected by copyright, as are all of my icons. Email me or call for price and terms.

This icon of PENTECOST is quite large, ca. 25 x 11x .75 inches! It has 33 figures; with Mary the Theotokos in the center, flanked by Mary Magdalene and Peter and dozens of disciples clustered around. Done in 23.5K genuine gold leaf and acrylic paints and inks. A similar hand written icon can be yours for $2,500.00 whereas prints are available from $50.00 up to $300.00 depending on size. Prints can be gilded with gold leaf for an additional charge. Hopefully you can zoom in on this photo, but if not, let me know and I'll give you another link that will blow your socks off! :-)
