This piece of art is made of two icons realised in different time periods. The smaller icon is placed in the center, depicting Virgin Mary (whose figure has been destroyed, unfortunately) with baby Jesus, with metallic locking. It has the shape of three domes, with the portrait of Jesus Christ in the central one. There are two angels on top of them.
The big icon has Jesse painted on the underside, with sprouts behind him rising to the upper part, forming medallions in which the prophets are painted. At the top of the icon is the representation of the Holy Father, on a cloud.
