Material and Workmanship
The icon is crafted as a riza work: The painted image of the three angels at the table — with a tree, house, and chalice in the background, as is typical for the classical iconography of the Orthodox depiction of the Trinity — is enclosed by a silver frame with niello ornaments and gilding. The border and the inscription on the lower frame are executed in silver and gold, the niello hand-engraving adds dark, fine lines to the ornamentation. Mounted on the wooden frame, the icon weighs approximately 240 grams, with dimensions of 161 x 131 x 25 mm.
Usage and Occasions
The image of the Trinity is considered one of the most theologically significant motifs in Orthodox tradition and is accordingly given as a gift for the major feasts of the church year: for Easter, the highest feast in the Orthodox calendar, for Christmas, or for baptism. The icon is also a fitting gift for confirmation or communion, when a conscious entry into faith is celebrated. For collectors of Orthodox silver icons, the Trinity motif is among the most sought-after depictions.
Care
- Dry, soft cloth for polished and gilded surfaces — no silver polish
- No silver dip — niello inlays and gilding would be damaged
- Store in a gift box or on the wall, not in direct sunlight
