Kit de broderie de perles petit format – icône « Sainte Nina »

“St. Nina” is a saint with the distinctive cross whose arms droop downward. Red robes and a pearl veil.

What the picture shows

The saint stands slightly turned, with long dark hair falling over her shoulder. A white-and-blue veil trimmed with pearl beads covers her head. Her outer robe is red, worked in dense rows with a yellow band at the edge. Her raised right hand holds a grapevine cross with its arms drooping in the familiar way, wound with a pale ribbon. The halo is amber and the ground is golden rays. The canvas is edged with a narrow gold band with red accents at the corners; a rectangular name plaque takes up the lower part. The robe, the halo and the border are beaded; the face, the hands and the golden rays stay printed on the canvas.
