Inlaid pearls are set at intervals around the decorative frame, enhancing the devotional character of the design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed hagiographic composition in pad-printed polychrome against a warm amber ground evoking aged parchment or wood. Multiple scenes from the life of St. Sergius of Radonezh are arranged in a circular frieze around a central vignette depicting the saint standing among a group of figures, with a processional cross at centre. Each vignette illustrates a key episode from the saint's life, accompanied by brief Cyrillic captions identifying the depicted events, rendered in a style reminiscent of medieval Russian manuscript illumination. Stylised black doves are interspersed throughout the field between the scenes.
