Beautiful Russian Orthodox Icon Diptych – Christ the Savior & Theotokos
Byzantine Style • Early 2000s • Burgundy Velvet Presentation Case • Tabletop Icon
A beautiful and distinctive Orthodox Christian icon diptych, brought from Russia in the early 2000s. This elegant folding icon features two traditional sacred images: the Mother of God with the Christ Child on one panel and Christ the Savior on the other.
The icons are presented in a beautifully crafted burgundy velvet-covered folding case, designed for tabletop display and devotional use. The richly detailed gold-tone and silver-tone decorative elements create an especially striking appearance and complement the traditional Byzantine-inspired iconography.
The combination of the two sacred images and the elegant folding presentation makes this a wonderful piece for an Orthodox Christian collection, religious display, home prayer corner, or collector of traditional ecclesiastical art.
