Russian icon - Christ Pantocrator in gilt silver cover and kiot shadow frame

The icon is depicting Christ Pantocrator and is covered by an ornate gilt silver oklad revetment cover with a separately attached halo. The silver cover is hallmarked with clear assay marks for dated 1890 and the maker's initials СГ for a prolific Moscow's workmaster Semyon Galkin. The icon is contained in a glass-fronted wooden kiot shadow box and is in superb original condition with light signs of aging.

Christ Pantocrator refers to a specific depiction of Christ. The most common translation of Pantocrator is "Almighty" or "All-powerful". In this understanding, Pantocrator is a compound word formed from the Greek words for "all" and the noun "strength" (κρατος). This is often understood in terms of potential power; i.e., the ability to do anything, omnipotence. The iconic image of Christ Pantocrator was one of the first images of Christ developed in the Early Christian Church and remains a central icon of the Eastern Orthodox Church. In the half-length image, Christ holds the Gospels in his left hand and makes the gesture of blessing with his right. The Gospels are opened on Matthew 11:28 “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
