Rare Glass Icon of Saint Haralambie – Unique 24K Gold Egg-Tempera Work

This striking one-of-a-kind "reverse glass" icon features the powerful and rarely depicted image of Saint Haralambie (Charalampos), known in Romanian tradition as Sfântul Haralambie, „ajutător în boli și necazuri”, the protector against illness, suffering, and calamities.

Masterfully executed in the ancient traditional technique of egg tempera on glass, the artwork showcases vivid colors, expressive contours, and exceptional craftsmanship. The halo and ornamental details are enriched with genuine 24-karat gold, adding a luminous sacred presence.

The icon presents Saint Haralambie in full figure, surrounded by dynamic scenes and symbolic imagery, rendered in a vibrant and modernized folk style while remaining deeply rooted in Orthodox artistic tradition. This is a rare motif, highly collectible, and crafted with high-quality materials.
