Archangel Michael is the head of the entire heavenly host.
Although this
icon has all of the appearances of a hand painted icon, it has carefully been selected from an "enhanced" silk screen collection executed in Russia.
This collection was selected because of its faithfulness to the canonical Russian icon tradition in terms of subject representation, coloration and detail.
