Icon Remnant Depicting Jesus

Say hello to a small, boxy brass plaque with a big-eared creature sitting in its own picture frame.

This is an icon remnant depicting Jesus. It is bronze. Icons of Christ are central to Orthodox and Eastern Christian devotion, and the image is generally governed by long-standing conventions of pose, gesture and symbol. Square, yellow-gold block with a recessed panel. Inside, a raised figure with large ears and a rounded face sits in a bordered field. The edges are worn and darker in the recesses, and a hinged or stepped side shows at right.

One small creature, one carefully squared-off room.
