Antique Bronze Russian Traveling Icon Three Panel

This antique bronze Russian traveling icon features a triptych design with delicate enamel detailing. Perfect for those who appreciate Orthodox Christianity, this piece provides a beautiful visual for prayerful contemplation.  It was made in the 1700s when Old Believers of the Orthodox Christian religion were being persecuted by the state.  Being a traveling icon made it easy to transport and hide.  The icon is traditional in that it depicts three persons - Christ Pantocrator carrying a book,  the Virgin Mary on the left and St John the Baptist on the right.  The front panel is a scene of Golgotha where Christ was crucified.  Take a piece of Russian history with you wherever you go.

Open panel is 5.75” x 15.25” x .115” thick
Closed panel is 5.75” x 5.5” x .75”

This is in fair condition.  Hinges are intact with no cracking or breaks in the bronze.  Much of the enamel is missing and the bronze is tarnished
