An icon of Christ Pantokrator in a finely executed silver oklad of 84 standard, featuring delicate engine-turned guilloché background and rich ornamentation in a mixed enamel technique. The halo and corner plates are decorated with foliate motifs and heart-shaped cartouches in a palette of cobalt blue, turquoise, emerald, and coral-red tones. The perimeter of the halo is accented with a row of half-spherical beads, and the inscriptions are presented on enamel plaques. The combination of champlevé and cloisonné enamels lends clarity and relief to the ornamentation, characteristic of Moscow workshops of the 1890s.
