About this piece
A tiny shrine that travels light.
This traveling icon depicting the Holy Trinity was cast in bronze in Russia and dates to the 18th century or earlier. Cast icons like this were commonly carried by travelers for private devotion. The rectangular plaque shows figures in a row with winged attendants above and a lower register of small figures. A loop sits at the top. The pale brass is worn smooth and mounted on a slim black stand.
About 3 inches tall. Small enough for a pocket, heavy enough for a prayer.
