Primitive style icon depicting the Crucifixion, with Arabic inscriptions dated to the 1560s. The simplicity of the treatment and the stylised but expressive rendering of the figures suggest that the icon was painted in a Christian community of Syria or Egypt. 0.34x0.30 m. Gift of Georgios Theotokas. (ΓΕ 31450)
