Exquisite 19th‑Century Russian Orthodox Register Icon

Presenting a finely preserved post‑Byzantine icon, likely crafted in a provincial Russian workshop between 1820 and 1880, that brings together a harmonious ensemble of Christ and five revered saints on a single gilded panel.

At its zenith, Christ Pantokrator emerges from a swirling cloud‑mandorla, His right hand raised in blessing as He holds the Gospel Book in His left. Below, five full‑length figures stand in dignified repose, each framed by a delicate red halo and identified by crisp Greek inscriptions:

1. Saint Basilissa - the noble female martyr at far left, her gaze serene.


2. Saint Basil the Great - the celebrated Cappadocian Father, vested in episcopal robes and clutching the Gospel.


3. Saint Nicholas - centrally placed as the icon's spiritual anchor, offering blessing and wisdom.


4. Saint Matrona - the monastic ascetic, draped in her maphorion with heartfelt devotion.


5. A Fifth Martyress - her identity lost to time but her presence adding mystery and depth.



Key Features:

Rich Hammered-Gold Ground: Finely punched "rosette" decoration that catches light and accentuates the sacred tableau.

Linear, Elegant Faces: Subtle chiseling of features typical of 19th‑century provincial iconography.

Vibrant Polychromy: Original pigments remain remarkably fresh, especially in the deep blues, carmine reds, and burnished highlights.

Authentic Greek Lettering: Clear inscriptions attest to its Orthodox heritage.
