An exceptional collector’s piece featuring a hand-applied gold leaf halo (nimbus) surrounding the head of Saint James the Apostle. Painted on a heavy, solid wooden plank, this sacred icon exhibits master-level iconography with traditional Greek inscriptions and authentic age patina.
The saint is depicted with a luminous gold leaf halo that reflects light beautifully across the panel. Flanking the halo are the traditional Greek inscriptions: "ὁ Ἀπόσ:" (The Apostle) on the left and "Ἰάκωβος" (James) on the right. Saint James is dressed in traditional green and red robes with detailed brushwork, holding an apostolic scroll in his left hand while gesturing in blessing.
Offered in original, untouched antique condition. Features beautiful surface craquelure, minor paint loss along the outer red border, and structural aging on the reverse heavy wood panel. Please refer to all close-up photographs for exact condition details.
