Icoa is a work by Familia Grecu?, depicting Halo, held at "Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum.
This painting shows a man sitting on a throne, wearing a red robe with a green sash and a gold crown. He has a halo around his head and holds a piece of paper in his left hand. The background is blue, with a few symbols above the man's head. The man's clothing and the throne suggest that he is a religious figure. The halo around his head also supports this idea. The symbols above his head may represent his name or title. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
They painted on glass the way others doodle on napkins—quick, direct, and meant to hang where light could catch it.
