Origin: Moscow (Russia)
Material: Wood, Levkas
Technique: Egg tempera
Measurements: 30x25cm
Epoch: beginning of XX century.
Restoration: this icon was restored in 2016 by masters iconographers in Moscow.
The tradition links this icon of the Face of Christ to the King Abgar, of Edessa, who Received it directly from Christ, to whom he had asked for a picture.
Christ wet his face and dried it with a Mandylion cloth, upon which his features were miraculously impressed.
Abgar, therefore, had the first Acheiropoieta, an image which wasn't painted by a man's hands.
This beloved and venerated icon became the prototype of al the representations of the Face of Christ, so that he could be recognised in every icon.
This icon is delivered in an elegant blue box and comes with a certificate of origin and guarantee.
