This is large vintage completely hand painted original Holy Face of Jesus Christ icon. The writings in abbreviated Old Russian Language on the icon stand for Jesus Christ Czar of Glory. This very rare amazing icon is handmade and completely hand painted in USSR in late 1980s. The icon is blessed by Russian Orthodox Church. It is one of a kind and the artist has made only one. You buy what you see on the pictures. The Holy Face of Jesus Christ icon is hand painted by Belorussian artist on thick 3/4” solid heavy hardwood board; heavy 3 lb. The icon has two parallel wedges on the back to prevent wood from being warped. This type of wedges monks were using in XV-XIX Centuries for the same reason to save the icons from warping and prolong their life. The icon was lacquered over the painting. The icon has the stamp on the back of the USSR Government Department of Culture with the permission to take the icon out of the USSR. The icon is in very good condition for its age but it has some lacquer imperfection (see pictures). Size is 12.25 x 9.25 x 3/4”. It is difficult to find the completely hand painted icons at that time !!!
