Russian Orthodox Bronze Icon - Triptych

This is the middle part of a bronze triptych.

  • Made of bronze. 
  • Heavy casting. 
  • Words of prayer on the reverse.
  • Dimensions: 7 x 4 in; Weight : 13 oz

The icon depicts scenes from the life of Jesus Christ. These icons were cast in Russia for private devotion. This icon comes from my own collection. I have a few other old bronze icons that will be listed here in the next week or two.

The white and navy blue specs are pieces of enamel.
