HELP! Someone has asked for help to find an icon of all the angels, here is the question....

I hope you can help me find an icon. I'm looking for one of all the angels. After looking around, I started wondering if there is one. I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't considering that the typically depicted angels (Michael, Gabriel) have appeared in a physical form, whereas the others have not. However, I know I've seen one example of it, referring to the "bodiless powers." Is it perhaps more commonly known by another name? Or not an orthodox icon? I am looking for one to fit with the title "Holy Angels." Is there a more eastern way of saying the same thing?

This is the one he is referring to

The icon as I have seen it is known as the Synaxis of the Holy Angels or Synaxis of the bodiless powers like these here:

The inscriptions in Greek say synaxis ton asomaton, meaning synaxis (gathering) of the bodiless.
