Christ is depicted in full length and with a Bible in his left hand. He looks sideways at a monk, who is kneeling before Him, and blesses him. This is a rare subject. The recessed central area for the image is called a kovcheg, from the Russian word (Ковчег) which means ‘ark’. This icon has a double kovcheg. contact |
