Description
**Originally Listed At $300**
Eastern Europe, Russia, ca. 19th century CE. A pretty brass enameled triptych icon, depicting multiple religious events - two small, square scenes on each side, and a larger scene in the center depicting three men. At the top of each panel is an additional scene that depicts God the Father looking down. White and dark blue enamel form the backgrounds, while molded brass with incised detail and Cyrillic writing (sadly no longer legible) forms the major parts of each panel. Icons served as an easily transportable method for traveling priests to teach the stories that made up the foundation of Orthodox Christianity. Size: 5.75" W x 4.1" H (14.6 cm x 10.4 cm)
Provenance: private Orange County, California, USA collection
