Folding triptych "Deesis"

The icon is a folding triptych made of yellow metal. Rectangular in form, close to square. The leaves are joined by elongated, tightly fitted hinges. At the top are two plain suspension loops. The images sit within a recessed "ark" with a double frame and a high rim. At the center is a knee-length image of Jesus Christ, seated; he blesses with his right hand and holds an open Gospel in his left, with a cruciform halo around his head. At the top of the icon, on either side of the halo, is the Church Slavonic inscription "Jesus Christ," and below it "LORD PANTOCRATOR." On the left leaf is a half-length image of the Mother of God, in a three-quarter turn toward Christ, with unfurled scrolls in her hand. On either side of the halo around the Mother of God's head is the inscription "Mother of God." On the right leaf is a half-length image of John the Baptist, with wings on his back; with his left hand he supports a font holding the Infant, along with a tablet, while with his right he makes the sign of the cross over the Infant. The halos of Christ, the Mother of God, and John the Baptist are round, with a dotted ornament. Their figures and the frame of each leaf are surrounded by a floral ornament. The folding icon is decorated with light-blue enamel.
