| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of a Byzantine-style icon divided into two registers on a gold ground, set within a rectangular field with a narrow black border. The upper register depicts the Three Marys at the Tomb, showing an angel seated on the open sepulchre at right while three holy women approach from the left. The lower register portrays the Descent into Hell (Anastasis), with Christ at left extending his hand to raise the righteous souls from Hades, a group of patriarchs and prophets assembled at right within a rocky cavern, and a processional cross with a banner visible in the background. The composition is rendered in the flat, hierarchical style characteristic of Byzantine mosaic iconography. |
