About the Item

This finely made 19th century Sladen traveling icon has four folding panels representing "The Twelve Principal Orthodox Feasts and Miracle-Working Madonnas." This version has five colors of enamel - a sky blue, ocean blue, navy, yellow and green. This piece belonged to a wealthy European client's mother-in-law. I am not a specialist in Russian Icons, but was able to find a similar on a Russian Icon site and this is how the piece is described: "The icon is divided into 20 smaller panels: five on the far right panel depicting selected icons on Madonnas venerated by saints (The Dormition Mother of God of Tichvin with selected Saints; Mother of God of Vladimir with selected Saints, Mother of the God of Smolensk with selected Saints; Mother of God of Sign with Selected Saints with Praise of Mother of God - on the top) and the other 15 depicting a principal Feasts of the Orthodox calendar including The Annunciation: the Nativity of Christ: the Nativity of the Virgin; the Presentation of the Virgin to the Temple; the Crucification surround by Saint Martha, Virgin Mary, Saints John and Longin Centurion; the Presentation of Christ to the Temple; The Baptism of Christ; the Transfiguration of Christ; Christ's Entrance to Jerusalem. On the top New Testament Trinity God Father and The Son enthroned, and the sphere with cross between them, above The Holy Spirit in the image of a dove with symbols of the Evangelist below; The Resurrection and the Descent into Hell, The Ascension, and The Old Testament Trinity". Open, it measures 16.5" W x 7" H x .25" D. Closed, closed it measures 4.2" W x 7" H x .6 D".
