Travel icon - Deesis Triptych - Bronze

Antique Russian Orthodox folding travel icon, probably dating to the late 19th century, crafted from cast brass with detailed religious imagery in relief. The three hinged panels depict the Virgin Mary holding a scroll, Christ Pantocrator with an open Gospel, and St. John the Baptist as the Angel of the Wilderness. Each figure is surrounded by traditional Cyrillic inscriptions. The reverse features an elaborately decorated Orthodox cross with architectural and floral motifs.

Designed for personal devotion and travel, the compact triptych displays an attractive aged golden patina, reflecting its historical and religious significance.
