Very Rare Greek Travel Diptych Icon With The Image Of Christ And Saint Paul From The 17th Century.

I present here a precious, rare and real piece of Curiosity, that this small pocket travel diptych finely painted representing face to face Christ and his apostle Saint-Paul (with the attributes of the Church), the latter being the co-founder of the base of the Christian Church. These two fine paintings with the Icon are beautiful remarkable quality by their finesse, with a delicate touch on gold leaf. Entirely encased in a bronze hoop with a clasp topped with two small faceted emeralds in old-cut cabochon .... It is undeniably a precious and unusual object, a rare original piece developing in the image of an open book, magically emanating "great" the mystery of faith in such a small size .... This beautiful testimony of the Orthodox religion is a portable jewel, a marvel of beautiful symbolism in the image of Jesus and his worship, wherever one finds oneself in divine and personal contemplation; a real and authentic piece in good condition from the end of the 17th century ....
