Oklad & Miniature Icon
This antique oklad is a decorative brass overlay designed to adorn an icon, likely of Russian Orthodox origin. The intricate repoussé work depicts floral and foliate motifs, typical of traditional oklads. Accompanying the oklad is a miniature icon, presumably the piece it was intended to cover, showcasing a devotional image. The combination of the oklad and miniature suggests a piece of significant religious and artistic value.
Condition & Collectibility
The oklad and miniature icon exhibit signs of age and wear consistent with their antique status. There is evidence of patina and possible minor damage, which adds to their character and authenticity. This set would be of interest to collectors of religious art, Russian artifacts, or antique brasswork, offering a glimpse into the devotional practices and artistic traditions of the past.
