About this piece
Christ at the center, with a crowd of attendants pressed in around him.
Russian metalworkers made this icon amulet, depicting Christ with a gallery of figures, in bronze in the early 19th century. Small cast icons of this kind were commonly carried or hung in the home for private devotion in Russia. The square plaque has a raised border and an eyelet at the top for suspension. Within it, a central figure sits among smaller attendants in shallow relief, the details worn soft by age. The golden metal has darkened in the recesses.
About 6 inches tall, with its stand. A small panel that holds a lot of reverence.
