This table icon depicts Saint Igor of Chernigov, a revered prince and protector of the Russian land, known for his Christian courage and steadfast faith. Saint Igor, celebrated for his devout life and martyrdom, inspires believers by strengthening their spirit and devotion to God.
The icon is crafted using the unique cloisonné enamel technique, where delicate metal partitions outline the saint’s image, and colorful enamels are carefully applied by hand into the compartments and kiln-fired at high temperatures. This intricate and meticulous process gives the icon rich colors, durability, and a characteristic glossy shine.
The compact tabletop format makes this icon ideal for placement in a home prayer corner, office, or desk, serving not only as a sacred devotional item but also as an elegant decorative piece.
