New Arrival
Russian Icon - Christ Pantocrator in silver & enamel revetment cover & kiot shadow frame

The icon with realistcally rendered image of the Savior is covered by a silver revetment cover with a polychrome enamel halo and is housed in its original glass-fronted wooden kit shadow frame. The cover is hallmarked with a Moscow assay mark dated 1894, "84" silver purity (875/1000), and "КЗ" maker's mark.

Christ Pantocrator is one of the most common subjects in Russian iconography, and its iconography follows a traditional pattern. In these icons, Christ is depicted as a powerful and majestic figure, with his right hand raised in blessing and his left hand holding the Orb. The term "Pantocrator" means "Almighty" or "Ruler of All," and the image of Christ in this role conveys his power and authority as the divine judge and ruler of the world. The icon portrays Christ with a stern expression, indicating his righteous judgment and the seriousness of his message. The icon's composition features Christ's head and shoulders in the center of the image, with his body slightly turned to the right. 

Overall, the iconography of Christ the Pantocrator powerfully and strikingly represents Christ's authority and judgment and reminds us of the spiritual power and majesty of the Christian faith.
