ICON of the Crucifixion - Lot 236
ICON of the Crucifixion A cavity intended to receive the bronze cross has been made in the center of the wood. The iconographer has completed the scene with the three Marys on the left, Saint John and the soldier Longin on the right. Two small scenes were added. This icon commissioned by a family has four saints on the borders including Mary the Egyptian, the saints Anne and Paraskeve and Saint Sergius (?). The enameled cross is composed of three crossbars and many symbols. Above Christ, God the Father, the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove and the angels of the Lord can be seen. Then it is written: "King of glory", then under the arms of the Crucified the song of the exaltation of the cross. Along his body are the spear and the sponge. On the lower branch is a sketch of the city of Jerusalem, lower the skull of Adam and in a cave the tree of Paradise.
