About this piece

The Trinity at the center, with the wings of the house folded open on either side.

This triptych traveling icon, dated in the record to the 18th century, was cast in bronze in Russia. Small folding icons of this kind are commonly associated with Orthodox devotion and were made to be carried on journeys or kept in a home corner. Per the record, the center shows the Holy Trinity, with hinged wings that carry smaller scenes. The metal is warm brass-gold with bits of blue enamel in the recesses. A pointed top rises above the center, and the piece stands on a black metal display mount.

About 4 inches tall and 6 inches wide. A pocket-sized chapel, to put it plainly.
