Description
Saint Beata with a cross
Saint Beata is shown facing the viewer, holding a small cross and raising her other hand with the palm open. A red veil and mantle frame her face; a circular halo and the inscription identify the figure. The composition contains no narrative scene.
The cross places the image within Christian devotion to Christ. The frontal pose keeps attention on the face and hands, making the image suited to a place set aside for personal prayer. The red clothing, green details and gold-tone background distinguish this version.
Made in Poland on linden wood
Art Christiana makes this icon to order on a linden-wood board with two coats of primer. The image is printed directly onto the prepared surface and finished with decorative gold-tone metal leaf (schlagmetal). A certificate bearing the production year and a hanging fixture are attached to the back.
The icon can be chosen for someone named Beata, for a name-day gift or for a home prayer space. The hanging fixture on the back allows it to be displayed on a wall.
