Gorgeous Russian Enamel on Silver Icon of ”Saint Alexander Nevsky” with a Sword, a Great 13th C.

Commonly regarded as a key figure in medieval Russian history, Alexander was a grandson of Vsevolod the Big Nest and rose to legendary status on account of his military victories over Swedish invaders, specifically the Battle of the Neva and the Battle on the Ice.
