| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a Nativity scene executed in a stylised Byzantine-iconographic tradition against a deeply mirrored proof field. At centre, the Virgin Mary is shown full-length with a nimbus, arms outstretched, with the haloed Christ Child seated before her on a sheaf of wheat held aloft by a kneeling angel at the bottom. Flanking figures representing the Magi or shepherds kneel in adoration on either side, with an ox and an ass visible in the background stable. Rays of divine light radiate from a star at the top of the composition, and decorative folk-art snowflake motifs are scattered throughout the dark field, uniting Christian and Ukrainian folk iconographic traditions. |
