Icon - Entry into Jerusalem - Wood - Hand-painted - 18,5 x 26 cm

Antique hand-painted icon depicting Christ’s Entry into Jerusalem, rendered in tempera on a solid wooden panel with a traditional red border. Likely of Eastern Orthodox origin, the composition features Christ on a white donkey surrounded by apostles and townspeople, with stylized architectural and natural elements in the background. Notable for its expressive facial detailing and rich palette dominated by gold, red, and deep green tones. The panel measures 26 cm in length, 18.5 cm in width, and 2 cm in depth. Signs of age and devotional use include surface craquelure, pigment wear, and losses to the lower paint layer, revealing the underlying gesso and linen. A hand-forged hanging loop remains affixed at the top. Cyrillic inscriptions above the central figure suggest Russian or Balkan provenance, likely early 20th century.
