| Reverse description | Full-length frontal depiction of Saint John the Baptist portrayed in the iconographic tradition of the Angel of the Desert, rendered in the style of an Orthodox icon with applied color highlights. The figure is shown winged, nimbed with a radiant halo, robed in white garments, holding a scroll with Cyrillic inscriptions in his right hand and a shallow bowl or paten containing a severed head in his left. The surrounding border features an elaborate ornamental frame of acanthus and floral motifs in high relief. Church Slavonic titlo abbreviations flanking the halo identify the subject as Saint John the Forerunner (СВ ІЩА ПРТЕЧА). |
