Description
Saint Elvira with a palm branch and cross
Saint Elvira is shown standing in a cream-colored mantle over an orange-red garment. A wreath of pink flowers rests on her head within a circular halo. She holds a palm branch beside a large X-shaped wooden cross, with a sword also visible alongside the cross.
A small metal vessel appears near her feet. The full-length figure and the diagonals of the cross occupy most of the gold-tone field, making this composition distinct from a bust-length portrait. The icon is a religious image for a home prayer space and can be given to someone named Elvira.
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.
