Hand‑painted Romanian Byzantine Nativity Icon, 30x25 cm. This icon depicts the Nativity of Christ, painted by Romanian iconographers in tempera according to the Byzantine tradition, with applied gold leaf. At the center is the Mother of God reclining beside the Baby Jesus laid in the manger, set within a stylized cave; around them are angels in adoration, Saint Joseph in a contemplative attitude, and rocky landscape elements that frame the scene, with a Greek inscription at the top. The iconographic narrative unfolds through the ordered arrangement of figures and gestures, emphasizing Christ's birth and the participation of the angels; the gold leaf on the background and the halos defines the symbolic light of the event. Each religious icon is delivered with a certificate of authenticity. The work is executed on a wooden panel with an antiqued finish and a thickness of 2.5 cm; actual measurements: 31x23x2.5 cm. It is delivered in a red velvet presentation box with a satin‑lined interior for protection during transport and storage.
