Christ raises his hands in blessing on this traditional style miniature icon. The gold foil background seems to glow, and draws the eye to the rich colors of the painting. A delicate golden border frames the icon. This pendant is made of high quality papier mache and is signed on the rear with the artist's name (Roman Chibisov), village, and date of completion.--BOX1278
