Antique 19th Century Russian Icon Christ Pantocrator with Saints at His Feet:
$750.00

This is an antique icon, Russian in origin, from a private collection. It portrays Christ as the Teacher, the book open to scripture, with two Saints supplicant by his feet. The feet themselves are highly detailed. The robes, in red and black and gold, delicately draped. The book of scripture is held with a cloth, showing reverence for the word. The right hand of Christ is raised. Christ is elevated slightly on a platform, and the fingers of the Saints are highly detailed as well. Faces are rubbed, and all but obliterated by those who have touched them. This Icon dates circa 1830. On the rear, the original blade marks for cutting the wood for the icon are plainly seen. One of the stretch bars, installed to keep the icon from bending, is missing. There are worm holes, and losses to be expected on an item like this. There also appears to be writing on the rear of the icon, in cyrillic, impressed into the wood.
This Icon measures 10 1/8 inches by 13 inches high, approximately. Thank you for offerding, and appreciating this work of art.
