About this work

This painting shows a bearded man in bright robes, sitting on a throne. He wears a golden crown and holds a tall cross in one hand while blessing with the other. The background is deep blue with gold trim, and the throne has intricate carvings. His face glows with a golden halo, and the colors are bold—green, orange, and gold stand out. The text at the top is in a different script, likely naming the figure. This style is common in religious art meant to honor saints. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more pieces like this.
