Continuing my Holy Silver series, today we have another Greek Orthodox icon that I have inherited. Like the rest of the heirlooms I have showed, there's no intention to sell and hopefully I will pass em on the next generation. It be funny though if blew these holy pieces..to enjoy some hookers and cocaine 🫠🤣
Judging from its looks, it's probably the oldest icon I have. If I was to guess, I'd say it's about 40-50 years old, maybe older.
Let's have a look:
Time has given it a nice black tint. Dunno about you, but I like it!
A close up on the finer details:
Imo, the craftsmanship is amazing!
On the back there isn't much too see, other than the COA on multiple languages, informing us that the icon is made of 950 silver:
There's also a small engraving on the front, noting the purity if you pay a bit of attention
As always, a comparison vs a standard euro coin
Yeah.. Lots of silver in this piece 🙈
Like the other two icons I have shown you, this also depicts Mary and baby Jesus, or Theotokos as known by Greek Orthodoxs:
Theotokos (Greek: Θεοτόκος) is a title of Mary, mother of Jesus, used especially in Eastern Christianity. The usual Latin translations are Dei Genitrix or Deipara (approximately "parent (fem.) of God"). Familiar English translations are "Mother of God" or "God-bearer" – but these both have different literal equivalents in Greek, Μήτηρ Θεοῦ and Θεοφόρος ("Who gave birth to one who was God", "Whose child was God", respectively) source
Ok that's it for today. Next piece on schedule has a similar theme but a much more modern design. Stay tuned!

It's a nice holy silver. Great for collecting !
Looks like these guys did not add that protective varnish like the previous one
Yeah! I like it better but blackish 🤣
Lol
The craftsmanship is stunning, for something as 40 to 50 years, I feel the silver is absolutely solid. Wen moon? 😜😜😜

I think that you are the king of inheritances and it looks like you might be coming from a line of kings. 😀 😁 Looks like you might be living in a treasury house.
Yeah can't complain, have inherited lots of cool shit but not plans to sell 😇
That is quite beautiful, and priceless. The sort of thing you sell only if you need bread to eat.
Lovely heirloom.
Or hard drugs ! 🫠😇
