Travel icon (Orthodox triptych, i.e., right opinion)
Period: Second half of the 18th century
Folding icon depicting Jesus in the center (Christ Pantocrator, i.e., all-powerful), with his mother Mary (Mater mundi) on the left and John the Baptist on the right, designed to be carried with you when traveling.
The Byzantine-Eastern Orthodox Church differs from the Catholic one in its non-centralized structure and the veneration of icons; therefore, Orthodox defines those who strictly adhere to traditional doctrines (religious, political, or ideological), respecting established rules and rejecting innovations.
The triptych is well-preserved, in original patina.
Closed it measures 18 x 23H cm; open it measures 30 x 23H cm.
Tsardom era: (1721-1917)
Peter I Alekseevich Romanov, known as Peter the Great (Moscow 1672-1725 Petersburg), was Tsar and, from 1721, the first Emperor of Russia. His reign began in 1682 (at just 10 years old) in co-regency with Ivan V, who was mentally and physically ill and therefore unable to reign.
Datable to around the second half of the 18th century.
