Icon - Wood - Synaxis/Archangel

In the upper right area a small fragment of the leaf gilding had come loose; it has been professionally reattached. Russian/Orthodox icon “Assembly of the Archangels” – historically dated to the end of the 16th century Large-format Orthodox icon depicting the Assembly of the Archangels. At the center appears Christ in a circular medallion, surrounded by an impressive host of angels and multi-winged seraphim. The composition is arranged hierarchically around the central Christ image and corresponds to the traditional iconography of the heavenly hosts.

The Cyrillic inscriptions in the upper area are still clearly legible; among them is “СЕРАФИМЫ” (Seraphim).
