Icon of Archangel Michael — Full Body, Curved Wood, 24K Gold

This hagiography depicts Archangel Michael standing, wings spread, holding an orb bearing Christ's monogram. As leader of the heavenly hosts, Michael holds a distinctive place in Scripture: he appears to Abraham to announce the trial of Isaac's sacrifice, delivers Jacob from Esau's threatening hands, and, according to the Revelation of Saint John, leads the angels in the battle against Satan. Orthodox tradition also credits him with announcing the second coming of Christ.

The Orthodox Church celebrates the Synaxis of Archangel Michael on November 8 each year, a feast especially observed among angelic devotions.

Hand-painted on curved wood, this icon stands out for its curved shape, which accentuates the presence of the archangelic figure. The 24-karat gold leaf background covers the entire composition, highlighting the ornamental details of the robe and wings.

In a 37 x 20 cm format, this hagiography depicts the Archangel in full body, unlike the bust portraits, offering a complete view of the figure and its robe, richly adorned with painted gems.

Made to order, each piece is one of a kind. It particularly suits a prayer space dedicated to the archangels, or as a gift for someone named Michael or Michaela.

Given for the feast of the Synaxis of the Archangels, a baptism, or simply to enrich a collection of religious items, this icon of Archangel Michael combines biblical depth with traditional iconographic craftsmanship.
