Kit de talismán para bordar con abalorios sobre lienzo artístico «Oración por la salud (texto en ucraniano)»

The prayer for health printed in Ukrainian on the back of this Saint Panteleimon banner.

What the picture shows

The healer saint is shown full-length: a crimson cloak, a green tunic, a spoon in his right hand and an open medicine box in his left — the marks by which he is recognised. The ground is ochre with fine plant scrollwork and an inscription across the top. The icon stays as printing on the canvas, and the beading forms the border around it: a red field, yellow crosses at the top and bottom, small white four-bead flowers in the corners and a gold edge. The red and yellow of the border echo the colour of the cloak. The yellow cross sits exactly in the middle of the top and bottom bands, so the border stays symmetrical.

The prayer on the back is printed in Ukrainian, so it reads without translation. The piece is small, 50×100 mm, about 709 beads and five bead colours. The braid and fringe in the photo are not part of the kit. The pattern is on the canvas, so there is no chart on a screen to follow.
