Russian Traveling Icon Depicting St. George

Three panels open like a book, and every inch of them is cast in detail.

This traveling icon depicting St. George was cast in bronze in Russia, and the record dates it to the 18th or 19th century. Folding icons of this type were commonly carried on journeys for private prayer. The piece has a central panel and two side wings that fold inward, topped with an arched crest, and the figures are in relief with traces of blue enamel in the background. The metal is a warm, golden brass, worn on the high points. It stands on a black display mount.

About six inches tall. A tiny chapel, designed to travel.
