A powerful Russian Orthodox icon depicting Christ Pantocrator, the "Ruler of All," one of the most sacred and recognizable images in Christian iconography. Christ is portrayed facing the viewer directly, offering a blessing with His right hand while holding the Holy Gospel in His left, symbolizing His role as divine teacher and eternal judge. The open Gospel bears a Church Slavonic inscription, reflecting Christ's message of truth and salvation. The icon's warm tones and expressive features give it a strong spiritual presence, a reminder of the enduring devotional tradition surrounding sacred icons in Orthodox Christianity. Painted in egg tempera on a wooden panel, the icon shows natural wear and areas of paint loss consistent with age and devotional history. These marks of time contribute to the character and authenticity of the piece, preserving the story carried within the old wood. Another remarkable piece has found its new home with a dedicated collector. “𝔒𝔩𝔡 𝔴𝔬𝔬𝔡 𝔠𝔞𝔯𝔯𝔦𝔢𝔰 𝔥𝔬𝔩𝔶 𝔰𝔱𝔬𝔯𝔦𝔢𝔰”
