Pantokrator (Greek: παντοκράτωρ) is the most well-known icon of Christ, representing Him as the Heavenly King and Judge. In iconography, the Pantokrator is depicted in full length, seated on a throne, either to the waist or chest. In His left hand, He holds a scroll or the Gospel, and with His right hand, He blesses. The icon of Christ Pantokrator preserved in the treasury of the Hilandar Monastery is considered the most beautiful of all Christ’s icons on the planet. During the celebration of 2000 years of Christianity in Athens and Jerusalem, it was chosen as the planetary symbol.
A triptych is a work of art composed of three connected parts, most often painted or carved, which together form a single whole. In Christian art, especially in the Middle Ages, the triptych was used as an altarpiece or part of an iconostasis.
The central part is usually the largest and depicts the main scene—most often Jesus Christ, the Holy Theotokos (Mother of God), or saints of our Church.
The side panels are foldable and typically feature saints, angels, or the Lord and the Theotokos.
It is practical for transport, which made it popular in the Middle Ages among traveling believers and priests.
Our triptych is made from the finest pieces of ash wood, using icon-painting craftsmanship inspired by Byzantine and medieval originals.
It is produced by metal casting and careful hand-finishing, enriched with 24-karat gold and 925 silver.
It is painted with epoxy resins and decorated with zircons.
If you wish to give your triptych as a gift, you can also choose a ceremonial gift box.
The dimensions of the triptych are: 220x255x32 mm.
