A very fine Imperial Russian icon pendant depicting a Patriarch in a parcel-gilt silver oklad. The facial and hand features are beautifully painted on a thin wooden panel. The silver cover (“oklad”) is engraved to represent the holy man’s vestments. The head is surrounded by a halo in which appears an old Slavonic inscription. The halo and elements of the clothing are highlighted with gilding. The icon is backed in faded red silk velvet. The oklad is hallmarked with the “84” standard, maker’s marks (transliterated as “IB”) and a partially-rubbed shield-shaped city mark. Origin: Russia, ca. 1865. Condition: excellent, some wear to velvet backing and warping to the wooden panel not visible from the front. Size: 1-3/4” x 1-5/16” (not including jump ring). |
