5. Icon on glass, "Saints Archangels Michael and Gabriel", probably painted by Pavel Zamfir, Laz, end of the 19th century, rare collection piece.

The icon presents the two archangels. On the right, the Archangel Michael wears military clothes and holds a sword in his hand. On the left, the Archangel Gabriel holds a flower in his hand. The two angels together support the Globe with the cross, a symbol of the Universe. The general chromatic is vivid: the colours of the garments - in which blue and green predominate - the cobalt-blue background of the sky and the density of the lines are characteristic of the glass painted icons in Laz, at the end of the 19th century. It should be noted that the scene designation inscription is reversed relative to the representation of the archangels.
