Description from the seller

Icon painted in egg tempera on panel from the early 20th century and depicting a Deesis on a gold background. The Deesis (from Greek déesis, "supplication" or "intercession") is a Byzantine Christian iconographic theme, central in the Orthodox world and widespread in Romanesque art, portraying Christ Pantocrator at the center between the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist in a prayerful stance. It symbolizes intercession for the salvation of humanity. Icon in excellent condition and without restorations, only a light cleaning a few years ago and mothproof treatment carried out. Measures 37x22x3 cm; due to current regulations it cannot be shipped outside the European Union.
