Icon Remnant Depicting Jesus

Presenting a little squared plaque with a bearded, arched figure and side tabs like ears.

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. Overall, a small, square-shouldered piece in aged yellow-brown tone. A raised, bearded face sits in an arched niche in the center, with a rounded halo-like outline. Short stepped flanges project at each side, and the surface is darkened in the recesses.

Tiny, serious, and kept in a very tight frame.
