Description from the seller

For auction is an elegant and richly detailed Orthodox icon depicting Christ Pantokrator (Christ the Almighty), crafted in the classic iconographic tradition of the famous 6th-century Sinai prototype.

The fine embossed cover (Riza / Oklad) is crafted from hallmarked 925 Sterling Silver, beautifully enhanced with rich gold gilding. The striking combination of gold and silver highlights gives this sacred artwork an exceptional liturgical brilliance.

The silver sheet is double-hallmarked on the lower right corner:

925: Guarantees the fine sterling silver purity.

★ 336 FI: The official Italian silversmith mark registered in Florence, Italy (FI = Firenze).

The delicate portrait of Christ's face and blessing hands (print) is mounted on a solid wooden panel. The dark-stained wood back features a built-in foldable easel stand for tabletop display as well as a metal hanging loop for wall mounting.

A high-quality piece of sacred silver and gold art in excellent collectible condition.
