Russian icon - Christ Emmanuel in brass oklad

Christ Pantocrator refers to a specific depiction of Christ. The most common translation of Pantocrator is "Almighty" or "All-powerful". In this understanding, Pantocrator is a compound word formed from the Greek words for "all" and the noun "strength" (κρατος). This is often understood in terms of potential power; i.e., ability to do anything, omnipotence. The iconic image of Christ Pantocrator was one of the first images of Christ developed in the Early Christian Church and remains a central icon of the Eastern Orthodox Church.

The icon depicts Christ half-figured blessing with his right hand while holding an Orb and a Cross in his left hand. It is covered by ornate silvered brass oklad revetment cover with separately attached multirayed halo.
