Damian) and Стыи безсреб.

Кузьма (Holy Unmercenary

Cosmas). The bottom of the panel features small icons of two additional saints lying in graves or coffins. The upper middle section features an image of Christ, God the Father, or a specific variant of the Mandylion over a church dome. handwritten provenance on the back provides an exceptional historical paper trail: "Purchased in Russia by George Pasanis [or Pasanjus] 1884.

Brought from Greece 1973 by his granddaughter Mary Economos and given to her son Andrew."Based on the painting style, typical wooden panel build, and this script, the icon dates to the mid-to-late 19th century (c. 1850-1880).
