Description: Antique tempera Icon depicting St. John the Baptist holding a duplicate of his head, a reference to his execution by beheading. Being a martyr and messenger of God, he also has a pair of angelic wings. This resulted from John publicly expressing his disapproval of Herod, then ruler of Galilee, divorcing his wife and unlawfully taking his sister-in-law as his second wife. A few other noteworthy inclusions are the figure of Jesus Christ and a rare depiction of God, who, according to the Bible, "heard the sound of words, but saw no form". This piece was created similarly to other similar pieces of the period. Icons such as these have been tempera painted onto architectural beams, supports, and other lumber that has been salvaged from crumbling buildings that dot the Grecian and Turkish coasts. This piece also features an embossed tin relief halo that surrounds St. John's head. Due to the nature of where the wood for this piece was salvaged from, it exhibits characteristic cracks and chips and should be handled with care. 12.5" W x 17.5" H Please refer to photos regarding condition.
