Enamel Icon of the Guardian Angel, on silver. Depicts a guardian angel and a prayer text on the back. (To the Guardian angel of God, my saint save me from all evil.”) On the front side of the ornate frame is a guardian angel with upturned wings and an overshadowing gesture. The sweet and gentle appearance, the look of shared suffering, the heavenly color, and the gesture of acceptance make the image irresistible. The author of the miniature managed to cumulatively burning appeal to the depths of the soul. 

The icon is made in the technique of notched enamel
