The icon is painted in two zones. Deisis with St. Sava Srpski and St. Simeon Nemanja are presented on the icon, holding a scroll with Psalm 34 (... Come, my children, and listen to me ...). In the lower zone, there are other Serbian saints headed by the patron saint, St. Stephen the First Martyr, and then the kings: St. Stefan The First-Crowned, Stefan King of Dečani, Tsar Uroš and Prince Lazar. The colour of the icon is unusually finely matched to the gold and green base tones. A record of the founders, two pilgrims - Vukoja and Gabriel - is inscribed below the figure of St. Sava in 1676.
