Item Details
Description
Russia, ca. 15th century CE. This is a silver traveling icon showing the Christ child held by the Virgin Mary and surrounded by presumably St Joseph, shepherds, and the Three Wisemen; the artwork has many small details. This style of icon is known as a "travelling" icon, which could be carried by priests. The 15th century was a crucial time in the development of Orthodox Christianity in Russia; holy figures such as Sergius of Radonezh and Metropolitan Alexis helped the country to withstand years of Tatar oppression, and to expand both economically and spiritually. Size: 4" W x 5" H (10.2 cm x 12.7 cm).

Provenance: Ex- Estate of M. Reiniger, Chicago, IL
