Icon "Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker"

The icon is rectangular, made of yellow metal, with a shallow recessed "ark," covered in white and blue enamel. At the top center of the icon is a suspension loop. The icon shows a half-length, frontal image of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker in episcopal vestments: sakkos, omophorion, mantle, and cuffs. He blesses with his right hand and holds the Gospel in his left. Behind him are half-length images of Christ and the Mother of God. Around the saint's head is a halo. To the left and right of the halo is the Church Slavonic inscription: "Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker." Around the perimeter of the image is a floral ornament.
The icon was seized by the Rava-Ruska customs post in 1991–1993, was exhibited at the "Saved for Ukraine" exhibition at the Ukrainian National Home in Kyiv in 1994, and entered the museum's holdings by decision of the State Customs Committee of Ukraine and the National Committee for the Return of Cultural Property to Ukraine under the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine in 1995.

Legend: the scene depicts the legend of a miracle that took place at the Council of Nicaea in 325. Saint Nicholas struck the heretic Arius, for which he was stripped of his episcopal rank and imprisoned. In prison, Christ and the Mother of God appeared to him and restored the signs of his episcopal dignity: the Gospel and the omophorion.
