A beautifully crafted Russian Orthodox icon depicting St. Nicholas posed with one hand in blessing next to an open book. He is flanked by Jesus and Mary on clouds surrounding an ornate openwork halo, with faces and hands oil painted on panel surrounded by intricately designed silver riza. St. Nicholas wears a crown and beautifully patterned robes against a finely textured background, the scene surrounded by a border of diamond-shaped motifs. The back of the panel is wrapped in red velvet and affixed with a loop for wall hanging. Hallmarked on the back edge of the riza.
