Mini kit icona ricamata con perline su tela d'artista «Santa Barbara»

“St. Barbara” is a great martyr in a crown with a long string of pearls on her chest. Deep red robes and golden radiance.

What the picture shows

The saint stands frontally in a low gold crown with red stones and green leaves. A long string of white pearl beads falls from the crown across her chest almost to the waist. The outer robe is deep red with soft folds, and a lighter lining shows on the left. Her raised right hand holds a small pale object. The halo is amber and the ground is golden rays. A plaque in a gold frame finishes the image at the bottom, and the corners on either side are filled with fine red-and-gold ornament. Beads cover the robe, the crown, the halo and the border, the face and hands stay printed, and gold print shows between the bead rows on the ground.
