Primitive Religious icon of Christ on gilt panel. 1874 135 years old. Beautiful, rare religious icon of Christ on gold painted panel with an antique gilt frame.

Age indicated in small lettering is 1874.

It is unclear what language or languages are represented in the lettering inscribed in the icon. One of the letters ( a character with three curved lines radiating upward and three curved lines radiating downward), is a character cited in Wikipedia as part of the early Cyrillic alphabet. This same character has also been cited as part of the Russian alphabet. This may be an Orthodox icon.

Measurements are 20 inches high and 20 inches wide including the frame.

Remarkably intact for its age, but with signs of wear, and the frame somewhat fragile. A rare museum quality piece to be handled with care, but well worth the interest of a curator or collector.

Sacred museum curator's dream. You can purchase and donate in memory of your loved ones to your place of worship. Will be fully insured upon shipping and sent to that sanctuary.

Proceeds will go directly to our mission chapel in the coal mining village where our chapel has been storm damaged.

Condition: Used
Manufacturer: Unknown. Possibly Greek orthodox in origin.
